MicroCon 2023 was an 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.

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 Ladonia and Queen Anastasia of Ruritania. Also, King George II of Slabovia bestowed a special honorary patch upon the few micronational leaders who have attended very MicroCon to date.

-The crown was handcrafted by Turkish jeweler Ferhat Özyalçın at his shop in Marmaris, Turkey. He designed the crown from Travis' description after trying several drafts of pen and ink drawings. The design is meant to evoke the laurel wreath of the Roman Imperial Crown in the style worn by the Roman Emperors. A semi-circlet shape was selected rather than a full circlet to ensure proper fit as well as to emulate the crown of Julius Caesar.
