The Organisation de la microfrancophonie (OMF; en|Organisation of the Microfrancophonie; shortened to Microfrancophonie)[2] is an intermicronational organisation that aims to promote French-speaking (Francophone) micronations in communities in France and increase intermicronational cooperation.[3] [4] Founded in 2015[5] and based on the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie, Microfrancophonie accepts micronations as member states, and has hosted four intermicronational summits between these members., Microfrancophonie had 27 member states plus one observer.[6]
The first summit was held in Aigues-Mortes, Occitania, between 23 and 24 September 2016, hosted by the Principality of Aigues-Mortes.[7] 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."[8] 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.[9] [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] The fourth summit was held in Saint-Antoine-l'Abbaye in Auvergne-Rhone-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.[12]
