The Edgewood Proclamation was a royal edict issued by King Ben on 26 Jan 1983/IV, formally declaring Talossa's borders with the United States to be Edgewood Avenue and the Milwaukee River, frequently called "Edgewood and the River." While this did not affect the Kingdom's rightful claim to Cézembre or the later official claim of Péngöpäts, it consolidated and formalized Talossa's claims of territory.

Prior to the Edgewood Proclamation, Talossan territory was centered around the irregular provinces then in existence - Vuode, Mussolini, and Atatürk. These provinces had been supplemented with contrasting and short-lived additional provinces, such as Féréncs Szálasi State. The Proclamation did away with these ill-defined boundaries, as well as the many overseas claims that King Ben admitted he had mostly forgotten, and gave Talossa its two well-known modern boundaries in the Greater Talossan Area.
