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

The games will comprise a total of 46 sports separated into multiple events for which medals will be awarded.

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 will take place in twenty venues, primarily within Daocheng itself, though a number of sports will be played throughout greater Jingdao as per necessity. The Games Village complex will be 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 will otherwise be used for events.

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. So far, five nations have committed to sending unified delegations, with ten FMS members' athletes to participate under the flag of their parent nation as a result.

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 13 FMS members were affected by the boycott.
