When he revealed to the world that he wanted to create his own state, an independent sultanate within the United States, no one believed him. She said, “I want to keep it simple.” Randy Williams, a well-known underground DJ in San Diego, California and the sultan of the Slugamastan Republic. «I visited all countries, so I decided to create my own». Williams spent his life visiting all the countries of the world, and then two years ago, with only one country recognized by the United Nations missing from his list, he decided to buy 50,000 square feet in the California desert for $19,000, calling his country. Country named his radio show, in honor of slow jam, a genre that blends soul and R&B. Slowjamastan has about 500 citizens, it issues passports, it has a consulate in San Diego, a currency, but above all it has issued various strange laws.

Strange ban
In the state it is forbidden to wear Crocs, rap, put your feet on the dashboard of the car. It’s clearly an unacknowledged state about a two-and-a-half-hour drive from San Diego as you get there from Route 78, and realize you’re entering from a green sign, plaza, and presidential office, all in the middle of the desert. Williams recently visited Turkmenistan, the 193rd country recognized by the United Nations, and now wants his country to become the 194th. “This is one of the reasons I set up Slogamastan,” he said in an interview with CNN. His state is inspired by dozens of other unrecognized microstates dotted around the world, including Nevada’s Molossia Republic: Among the state’s quirks, money is secured by chocolate chip cookies rather than gold reserves. Also, like other small states, Slugamastan is a dictatorship: “Most of the time we are a dictatorship although we will sometimes have voting ceremonies and special referenda. Recently, I have allowed citizens to vote on what should be our national fruit, our sport and even the name of our national animal.” (The raccoon won, ed.),” said Williams, who wears a bright green uniform for formal events, making him look a bit like Sacha Baron Cohen’s movie dictator.
future projects
Among the projects he would like to build are a water park-like creek, an armadillo farm, a Mongolian barbecue, and a giant statue of “The Great Leader, or Me”. Now Williams is trying to establish diplomatic relations with other countries and claims to have entry stamps in his passport to 16 states, including South Africa, New Zealand and the United States. He also argues that Slowjamastan has all the characteristics to be an independent country according to the Montevideo Agreement and that it will soon attempt to secede from the United States. “I have written many emails and social media messages to Biden.” He has not received any response yet.
