~~The~~ '''[[~~southern elephant seal~~]]''' ~~is one~~ of the ~~two species~~ of ~~elephant seals~~. It is the ~~largest member~~ of the ~~clade Pinnipedia and the order Carnivora~~, ~~as well as~~ the largest ~~marine mammal that is not a cetacean. It gets its name from its massive size and the large proboscis~~ of the ~~adult male, which is used to produce very loud roars, especially during the breeding season~~.

'''[[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 world population was estimated at 650~~,~~000 animals~~ in the ~~mid-1990s~~, ~~and was estimated in 2005 at between 664~~,~~000~~ and ~~740,000 animals. Studies have shown the existence~~ of ~~three geographic subpopulations, one in each~~ of ~~the three oceans~~. ~~Tracking studies have indicated the routes traveled by elephant seals~~, ~~demonstrating their main feeding area is at the edge~~ of the ~~Antarctic continent. While elephant seals may come ashore in~~ [[~~Antarctica~~]] ~~occasionally to rest or to mate, they gather~~ to ~~breed in subantarctic locations~~.

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.
