A '''[[lichen]]''' is a composite organism that arises from algae or cyanobacteria living among filaments of multiple fungi in a symbiotic relationship. The combined lichen has properties different from those of its component organisms. Lichens come in many colors, sizes, and forms. The properties are sometimes plant-like, but lichens are not plants.
The '''[[Principality of Aigues-Mortes]]''' is a [[micronation]] created to promote and support local initiatives of the eponymous city, located in Southern France, 23km east of Montpellier. The Princely Couple (His Serene Highness, Sovereign-Prince Jean-Pierre IV and Her Serene Highness, Princess Olivia-Eugénie) work together with the citizens and the Princely Grand Council, to create and organize events that are both fun and windows of local talents and creativity.


Lichens occur from sea level to high alpine elevations, in many environmental conditions, and can grow on almost any surface. Lichens are abundant growing on bark, leaves, [[moss|mosses]], on other lichens, and hanging from branches "living on thin air" (epiphytes) in rain forests and in temperate woodland. Different kinds of lichens have adapted to survive in some of the most extreme environments on Earth: [[Antarctica]], hot dry deserts, rocky coasts, and toxic slag heaps.
During [[MicroCon 2025]], it was announced that the Principality of Aigues-Mortes would serve as host of [[MicroCon EU 2027]].
