Controversy
The Federal Union of Wegmat, based near Chicago, launched an official boycott of the event, accusing Carolyn I of Ladonia and other attendees of transphobia and homophobia.[4] Another problem Prime Minister Cole Baird has with the event is that the host nation is not located in Chicago or even Illinois. The Wegmat Government plans to do a counter-event in August that would be free of charge.
