MicroCon 2017 marked the first meeting between representatives of the Kingdom of Talossa and [[Westarctica]], two nations with competing claims to territory in [[Marie Byrd Land]]. Although Talossa's claim pre-dates Westarctica's by several years, Westarctica's claim was made through legal channels and not simply "declared." In any case, neither nation has ever formally recognized the claims of the other. Prior to meeting at the summit, some members of Talossa's government had displayed open hostility to Westarctica in the form of online propaganda. In turn, [[Grand Duke Travis]] refused to formally acknowledge Talossa's existence as a sovereign nation.
