Organisation de la microfrancophonie
Organisation for French-speaking micronations
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Organisation de la microfrancophonie (OMF;[3] English: Organization of the Microfrancophonie;[a] shortened to Microfrancophonie)[4] is an intermicronational organisation that aims to promote French-speaking (Francophone) micronations in communities in France and increase intermicronational cooperation.[5][6] Founded in 2015[7] and based on the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie, Microfrancophonie accepts micronations as member states, and has hosted four intermicronational summits between these members. As of August 2024[update], Microfrancophonie had 27 member states plus one observer.[8]

Summits
The first summit was held in Aigues-Mortes, Occitania, between 23 and 24 September 2016, hosted by the Principality of Aigues-Mortes.[9] 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."[10] 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.[3][11] 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.[12] The fourth summit was held in Saint-Antoine-l'Abbaye in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes on 24 and 25 August 2024 upon invitation by the Formori Community. Thirty-five delegates attended, representing thirteen member states of Microfrancophonie and five non-members.[13]
