In April 1002, having learned of the situation on Storm Island, Sunset Shimmer decided to ease the tension there. She began spreading her democratic ideas in the streets and alleys, winning considerable public support. She then used her status as a former student of Celestia to make contact with Sandbar and Flash Sentry, and after long efforts succeeded in inviting representatives of the various factions within Free Equestria and of the states to talks in New Ponyville. After a full day of tense discussion and strenuous mediation by Sunset Shimmer, the states agreed to continue under the rule of the Free Equestrian government while retaining a great deal of autonomy, and the representatives of Freeport and the island's factions could form parties to take part in the Free Equestrian government. The parties then signed the New Ponyville Declaration: it provided that Free Equestria is a federal republic of seven equal states, that its form of government is a parliamentary republic, and that every adult citizen has the vote. The New Ponyville Declaration also served as a provisional constitution. From then on, Free Equestria's democratic era began.
