Fontasian Intermicronational System of Stability (FIMSS)
The Fontasian Intermicronational System of Stability, abbreviated to FIMSS was a micronational classification system and stability calculation system for micronations. Developed by King Conor I of the Kingdom of Fontasia, it examined a micronation's performance by eight different criteria, political stability, economic stability, cultural/social stability, martial stability, diplomatic stability, territorial stability, technological stability and temporal stability. Each criteria have three sections to calculate the criteria.
The system was created to rival the Boodlesmyth-Tallini Classification System and various other developed micronational classification systems.
System of Stability
Section 1: Political Stability

Section 6: Territorial Stability:
Existence of an enforceable territory:

- Some enforceable territory (simulationist or pseudo-simulationist micronation)
- Decent amounts of enforceable territory (pseudo-simulationist-secessionist micronation)

Section 8: Temporal Stability:
Age of micronation:
- Very young (existed less than a few months)
- Young (existed less than a year)
- Adolescent (existed for more than a year/few years)
- Old (existed for more than a few years/decades)
Development of history:
- Very little recorded history
- Some recorded history
- Decent amount of recorded history
- Rich history with primary records and dates
Historical stability of micronation:
- Extremely unstable for most of its history
- Relatively unstable for most of its history
- Stable for most of its history
- Very stable for most of its history
After total added, divide answer by 96.
