The 2022 MOF Games, also referred to as the 2022 Intermicronational Olympic Games or Wegmat 2022, were the fourth annual games organized by the Micronational Olympic Federation. The games were hosted by the Federal Union of Wegmat and officially began on May 18, 2022. Although they were initially scheduled to conclude on June 3, 2022, the event faced significant delays and ultimately ended on October 12, 2022.

The games were delayed by two days at the start due to difficulties in setting up the virtual event space, as reported by the Wegmat Sporting Administration. Subsequently, the event experienced further disorganization. By the fourth day, the sole administrator of the games became inactive due to mental health reasons, leaving the event without proper oversight for nearly a month. Attempts to contact representatives from Wegmat were largely unsuccessful, with many being unresponsive, lacking instructions, or unavailable due to leave.

On June 1, 2022, the Wegmat government temporarily closed due to short-staffing, lack of dedication, and inactivity, and it did not reopen until July 21, 2022. During this period, the Micronational Olympic Federation assumed control of the games with Wegmat's permission. The remaining events proceeded with minimal further issues.

Controversies

Businesses in the city of Bushwood were promised that physical festivities would be held during the 2022 MOF Games. However, when the Paulina Depression began, the Wegmat government closed from June 1 to July 21, 2022, leading to a period of inactivity during which no planned festivities took place. This also caused a halt in other economic activities. As a result, seven Bushwood-based businesses consulted with the Kearsage Law Firm to determine whether the Wegmat government could be held liable for these losses.

The only potentially compensable claim was that the Wegmat Sporting Administration (WSA) might not have fulfilled its promise to host physical festivities. Consequently, the case "Bushwood Trade Market v. Wegmat Sporting Administration" was filed in the 1st District Supreme Court of Wegmat on October 3, 2022. The Wegmat Ministry of Justice has since provided federal attorneys to represent the WSA in the case.
