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.
