'''[[Exercise: Westarctic Chill]]''' was a joint military exercise conducted by [[Westarctica]] and [[Slabovia]] on 5 August 2019 in Dundas, Ontario, Canada. It marked the fourth time [[Grand Duke Travis]] had participated in a joint military operation with another [[micronation]].
'''[[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.


The exercise was conducted inside a simulator room that utilized the ''Artemis: Spaceship Bridge Simulator'' program. This software was originally released in 2010 and is designed to be played between three and eight players over a local area network. In a manner similar to the television show Star Trek, each player uses a separate computer that controls a specific spaceship bridge station.
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]].

The [[Slabovia]]n Navey has a long history of running complex Artemis simulations in their dedicated simulator room, which has been christened the USS ''Don Quixote''. Their typical configuration includes computer terminals for helm, weapons, science, engineering, and communications. There is also a separate chair for the captain with a large viewscreen that is visible to the entire bridge. In the past, more challenging simulations have included the use of separate personnel spread out in different rooms communicating with the bridge via two-way radios.
