History
In 1859 Joshua A. Norton declared himself Emperor of the United States of America, thus initiating a new era of American history. During his reign he did what he could to improve his beloved country, issuing decrees such as the one that dissolved the Democratic and Republican Parties. But, he loved the world as well. The best evidence is his idea for a League of Nations, which would have helped bring peace to the 19th century world.
Upon the death of His Majesty Emperor Norton I the throne remained vacant and the United States waited for someone who could fill the hole left in the hearts of the American People. During this time the American People looked to their Government to maintain the principles of truth and democracy, sometimes it has succeeded and sometimes is has failed.
On August 1, 2007, Shawn Bale declared himself Emperor Norton II and on September 5, 2007 he established the Imperial Government in Exile. However, his claim to the throne is currently unrecognized and the Imperial Government remains in Exile.
