-A '''[[micronation]]''', sometimes referred to as a '''model country''' or '''new country project''', is an entity that claims to be an independent nation or state but is not generally recognized by world governments or major international organizations.
+'''[[MicroCon 2023]]''' was an [[micronation|intermicronational]] event hosted by the [[Royal Republic of Ladonia]] during the summer of 2023. It was the fifth event to occur under the [[MicroCon]] banner. The main conference was held in Joliet, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, during the weekend of July 1st. MicroCon 2023 was attended by 133 delegates representing 42 countries, making this the largest gathering of micronationalists ever held in the entire world.
-Micronations are distinguished from imaginary countries and from other kinds of social groups (such as eco-villages, campuses, tribes, clans, and sects) by expressing a formal and persistent, even if unrecognized, claim of [[sovereignty]] over some physical territory. Micronations are also distinct from true secessionist movements; micronations' activities are almost always peaceful enough to be ignored rather than challenged by the established nations whose territory they claim.
+In the evening following the conference, the delegations dressed in their most formal attire and attended a gala ball complete with a three course meal. During the gala, several major awards were handed out, including two inductees to the [[Micronational Hall of Excellence]]: Queen Carolyn of [[Royal Republic of Ladonia|Ladonia]] and Queen Anastasia of [[Kingdom of Ruritania|Ruritania]]. Also, [[King George II of Slabovia]] bestowed a special honorary patch upon the few micronational leaders who have attended very [[MicroCon]] to date.
-Several micronations have issued [[Coins of Westarctica|coins]], [[Flag of Westarctica|flags]], [[Stamps of Westarctica|postage stamps]], passports, and other items. These items are rarely accepted outside their own community, but may be sold as novelties to help raise money or collected by enthusiasts.
