The Republic of Slowjamastan, officially the United Territories of the Sovereign Nation of The People's Republic of Slowjamastan, or simply known as Slowjamastan, is a North American micronation landlocked within Imperial County, Southern California. It covers 11.07 acres of land, parallel to California State Route 78, between the towns of Ocotillo Wells and Westmorland. It is known for its laws against wearing crocs, mumble rap, and placing your feet (or foot) on the dashboard of a vehicle.

History

Slowjamastan was founded on 18 August 2021 by nationally syndicated radio personality Randy "R Dub!" Williams who would immediately declare himself Sultan of Slowjamastan. The inspiration came from Williams visiting the Republic of Molossia in June 2021. While no physical land was in possession when the nation was founded, on 3 September 2021, Williams entered into an agreement with a private American real estate firm to purchase eleven acres of land.^[3] On 4 October 2021, Williams completed escrow and closed the deal on his land purchase.^[4] Official independence was declared on 1 December 2021.^[5]

Politics and government

Slowjamastan functions as a dictatorship, with His Excellency, Randy Williams as the Sultan of Slowjamastan. Williams, who is also known as "R Dub!" in the music industry, is the creator and host of the internationally syndicated Sunday Night Slow Jams radio program, which airs in over 200 cities worldwide.^[6] Williams is also the Director of Programming for San Diego radio stations XHRM (Magic 92.5) and XHTZ (Z90) and serves as afternoon drive host on XHRM.^[7] He's written two books, produced a feature-length film and has appeared on ABC's Shark Tank and NBC's Judge Mathis.^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11]

Currency

In early 2022, Slowjamastan's Department of Treasury introduced the country's first currency, paper bills named "the duble," rhyming with the Russian ruble. Bills were designed, printed and entered circulation in one, five, ten and twenty duble denominations. In July 2022 there were rumors of metallic coins in production. The Duble is backed by U.S. Dollars and traded with an exchange rate of 1:1 with the U.S. Dollar.
