The Memorandum Regarding the Status of Political Affairs in the Vierz Empire, commonly known as the Werner Declaration, was a document written by the Crown Council of Vierzland in late 1989 and early 1990 and issued on 10 January 1990. The document was authored primarily by Chancellor Heinrich Werner and his deputy Wenzel Dahlke. The declaration's origins began with the sudden abdication of Emperor Victor IV in October 1989 amid the Vierz Revolution.
The two-page brief, which was also signed by the leadership of the national legislature, declared the immediate dissolution of the Vierz Empire and its succession by the Vierz Federation. It also dissolved the imperial government, replacing it with a caretaker government to be headed by Chancellor Werner and supported by a constituent assembly, the National Assembly, which would be elected in February.
