The Organisation de la microfrancophonie (OMF;[2] English: Organisation of the Microfrancophonie;[a] shortened to Microfrancophonie)[3] is an intermicronational organisation that aims to promote French-speaking (Francophone) micronations in communities in France and increase intermicronational cooperation.[4][5] Founded in 2015[6] and based on the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie, Microfrancophonie accepts micronations as member states, and has hosted three intermicronational summits between these members. As of December 2022[update], Microfrancophonie had 21 member states.[7]
Summits
The first summit was held in Aigues-Mortes, Occitania, between 23 and 24 September 2016, hosted by the Principality of Aigues-Mortes.[8] According to organiser and self-proclaimed head of state of the Principality Jean-Pierre Pichon (dubbing himself Prince Jean-Pierre IV): "The role of this first summit of micronations is to introduce the public to this fundamental movement intended to engage citizens in social, environmental and cultural actions."[9] The second summit took place in Vincennes, Paris, on 21 July 2018, and was hosted by the Empire of Angyalistan. It had fifteen attendees. A coinciding exhibition for the summit at a local museum hosted micronational passports, currencies, newspapers and other local productions.[2][10] The third summit took place in Blaye in Nouvelle-Aquitaine between 27 and 28 August 2022. It was organised by the Principality of Hélianthis, and had fifteen attendees representing seven member states of Microfrancophonie.[11]
