The Second Empire of Nadauro (Lavish: Segundo Império de Anadaúro), officially the Empire of Nadauro (Lavish: Império de Anadaúro) and also referred to as imperial Nadauro or simply Nadauro, was the nation state and constitutional monarchy that comprised the territories of modern-day Nadauro and other Elia Australian countries from the beginning of the National Schism on 4 February 1886 until the enactment of the reformed Constitution of Nadauro on 10 August 1950, resulting in the formation of a Third Empire.

Nadauro's first attempt at a republican federation collapsed when political disputes between President Geraldo Duarte, Vice President Luís Benito de Gerosa and general Emanuel Teixeira escalated into the National Schism in April of 1885. A military coup d'état led by Teixeira restored power to the culturally influential Pedro I as Emperor and imposed a royalist junta, called the Teixeirato; from 1890 to 1920, Nadauro underwent a period of large-scale industrialization, militarization, and centralization. Unlike most of the Eastern Hemisphere's republics in the latter 19th century, the Empire witnessed vibrant economic and population growth as well as political stability. The successful Second Equato–Nadauran War in 1909 and X in 19X cemented Nadauro's position as an emerging great power.

Emergency management incompetency following the 1919 Great Itabira Earthquake and a failed coup led to a rise of political extremism, militarism, nationalism and ultimately national syndicalism; Lúcio Cabral of the Statist Party assumed the position of prime minister under Luís III on 20 June 1921 and initiated the era of totalitarian tatist Nadauro. This ideological shift and the economic turmoil of the Crash of 1925 prompted Nadauro to pursue economic autarky, an aggressive foreign policy of expansionism and imperialism (Esfera legítima), and military alliances with Asplinist Falland and Razan. During the Third Equato–Nadauran War in 1934, Nadauro consolidated its territorial ambitions and conducted a pacifying genocide against the Equatorian.

On 8 August 1936, Statist Nadauro officially entered the Transmedan War as a Sydenham Power by invading Terrafirma. Initially, it vastly successful in its military campaigns; by 1937, Nadauro controlled almost the entirety of northern Elia Australis and encroached upon the Free States south coast. However, a series of Transmedan victories at X and X, as well as the failed attempted invasion of the Free States forced Nadauro to adopt a strictly defensive strategy from 1938 onwards. Transmedan landings in Seibal and Yecahual led to the fall of the Statist regime, Cabral's suicide on 17 March 1940, and a negotiated surrender by the rump government on 25 March 1940.

In the wake of the Transmedan War, Nadauro was not formally by Transmedan forces like the other Sydenham Powers and instead consulted by the Control Council. Under its guidance, a new constitution was enacted on 10 August 1950 and abdicated Agustín I's son, Luís IV, became Emperor, despite fierce protests by Nadauran republicanists. Nadauro relinquished control over all of its overseas territories, formally ending the Nadauran colonial empire, and millions of Nadauran settlers were repatriated from the former colonies throughout Elia Australis and beyond. The post-war Third Empire would remain a democratic constitutional monarchy until a return to authoritarian military rule under Hermes Caravelas in 1973.
