'''MicroCon''' is a convention of micronationalist government representatives, held biennially in odd years since 2015. MicroCon was created by [[President Kevin Baugh]] of the [[Republic of Molossia]] as a venue for delegates of [[micronations]] around the world "to share their ideas, dreams and worlds with each other." | '''MicroCon''' is a convention of micronationalist government representatives, held biennially in odd years since 2015.

Starting in 2019, the future location of each convention branded under the MicroCon banner will be determined by the MicroCon Committee. The committee is a loose group of nations which have previously hosted MicroCon and provide gentle guidance to hosts of future events. Prospective hosts are asked to submit a proposal for hosting an event. These proposals are then vetted by the committee to ensure each convention is of increasingly superior quality. | |||
