MicroCon

[1] Micronations are political entities that claim independence and mimic acts of sovereignty as if they were a sovereign state, but lack any legal recognition.

[2] Many exist "only on the internet or within the private property of [their] members"[3] and seek to simulate a state rather than to achieve international recognition; their activities are almost always trivial enough to be ignored rather than challenged by the established nations whose territory they claim.

[6] A venue for exchanging ideas between micronationalists, MicroCon has been compared to a summit and dubbed the micronational equivalent of a session of the assembly of the United Nations.

[12] MicroCon 2017 commenced between June 23–25 in Reid H. Cofer Library at Tucker, DeKalb County, Georgia, and was attended by "more than 70 delegates"[13] representing 26 micronations.

Attendees dressed in full royal and military regalia: "in pearls and kitten heels, electric blue sailor suits, glitter-coated boots, and capes.

[MC 6] MicroCon 2023 consisted of two separate events; the first American summit occurred between June 30–July 2 in Joliet, Illinois, and received 110 delegates from 42 micronations, 132 attendees in total.

[17][MC 7] The conference in Joliet featured another formal gala, diplomatic reception, a questions and answers session and a micronation show and tell.
