'''[[Talossa]]''', also known as the Kingdom of Talossa, is one of the earliest [[micronation]]s. It was founded in 1979 by 14-year-old Robert Ben Madison of Milwaukee and at first confined to his bedroom. He adopted the name after discovering that the word means "inside the house" in Finnish. Its internet and media exposure since the late 1990s influenced many subsequent micronations.
'''[[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.


During [[MicroCon 2017]] in Atlanta, Georgia, [[Grand Duke Travis]] was introduced to Munditenens (Dien) Tresplet, the Royal Governor of Talossa's Pengöpäts [[Antarctic]] Territory. After lengthy discussion, the Royal Governor joined hands with Grand Duke Travis and Baron Omar Cisneros, the representative from [[Grand Duchy of Flandrensis|Flandrensis]], and agreed to peacefully resolve any conflicts concerning their competing Antarctic claims.
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.
