MicroCon 2025 was a micronational event which occurred during the last week of June in 2025 in Montreal, Canada. It was the sixth event to occur under the MicroCon banner and was held during the 10th Anniversary of the MicroCon conferences.

It was hosted by the Aerican Empire.

As Montreal is a bilingual city (French and English), this was the first completely bilingual MicroCon event.

The event venue was the Singapore Room at Hôtel Ruby Foo's, a four-star hotel located the heart of Montreal.

Background

During MicroCon 2023's gala ball, the host and location for MicroCon 2025 was announced. It was due to be the first MicroCon that was hosted by three micronations.

The three proposed hosts, all based in Montreal, were:

During the initial the announcement at MicroCon 2023, Emperor Eric of the Aerican Empire and Princess Cloe of Sancratosia gave a brief presentation extolling the virtues of Montreal. A few weeks later, at MicroCon EU 2023, Dominic Desaintes-Bellemare from Saint-Castin shared more details about the planning committee's thoughts on the event including the proposed venue and dates.

Unfortunately, in mid-June 2025, just a week before the event was scheduled to commence, the three hosts had a falling out leading the Principality of Sancratosia and the Newgraviate of Saint-Castin to withdraw from the planning committee. The Aerican Empire assumed full hosting duties. Due to these developments, some scheduled events were scaled back or cancelled altogether.
