The 2018 Micras Games, officially known as the I Micras Games and commonly referred to as Daocheng 2018, was the inaugural hosting of the Micras Games; a multi-sport event coordinated by the Fédération Micraise de Sport.

The games were scheduled to comprise a total of 46 sports separated into 323 events for which gold, silver and bronze medals were to be awarded. However, problems with the events' scheduling and organisational issues experienced by the FMS led to the games being abandoned prior to being completed. Ultimately, only 119 events saw medals awarded, from a total of 26 sports, leaving the games less than halfway finished.

Hosting

Four cities initially bid to host the games, though this was reduced to three following the withdrawal of the bid from the Florian city of Birmingham due to events related to the War of Lost Brothers. As a result, voting among the executives of the FMS took place with three candidates, with the Jingdaoese capital of Daocheng winning the rights to host the games through an instant run-off vote.

Preparation

Venues

Events were scheduled to take place in twenty venues, primarily within Daocheng itself, though a number of sports were to be played throughout greater Jingdao as per necessity. The Games Village complex was entirely purpose-built for the games, with brand new venues and athlete accommodation on the same site. Both existing—excluding street courses—and new venues in Daocheng and ten other cities would have otherwise been used for events.

Opening ceremony

Sports

The games' sports were separated into two categories; traditional sports which were competed for using standard FMS procedures, and "live" events which were competed for between the leaders—or prominent citizens—of the participating nations. There were to be 46 sports played at the games, though twenty of these saw no medals awarded with many not even beginning their competitions.

Participating nations

All existing FMS and MCS members were invited to participate in the games, meaning that sovereign nations routinely represented by multiple sports teams had the option to send either separate or unified delegations. Four nations committed to sending unified delegations, with ten FMS members' athletes participating under the flag of their parent nation as a result. A total of 58 national delegations were sent to compete at the games.

Participating FMS members

Notes

^ A Team contained athletes from Etourney and Florian Eura.
^ B Team contained athletes from Gerenian South Keltia.
^ C Team contained athletes from Victoria.
^ D Team contained athletes from Bayen, New Zimia, the North Antarctic Domain, Passas, the Passasian Unincorporated Territory and the Wallis Islands.

Boycotts

Due to Jingdao's participation in the War of Lost Brothers, the nations of Natopia and Shireroth announced they would boycott the games, and both placed blanket bans on their own athletes—and athletes from their respective territories—prohibiting them from participating in any form. As a result, athletes from a total of twelve FMS members were affected by the boycott.

Calendar

The calendar for the games related to the official competition dates for events in the traditional sports programme. The live events programme had no set dates, with competitions for the ten medal events free to take place throughout the month of September where possible. This calendar indicates the scheduled dates for events, rather than the timetable that eventually occurred.
