The California man creates his own MICRONATION called Slowjamastan in the desolate Golden State desert

A San Diego radio DJ has created his own micronation called ‘Slowjamastan’ and proclaimed himself the ‘Sultan’ of the country in the Golden State.

Randy ‘R Dub’ Williams has visited every UN-designated country – more than 190 around the world – and has resorted to creating his own nation under its rules.

“I’ve seen some incredible places that a lot of people don’t get the chance to travel to… What the next step for me is to make a country of my own,” Williams said. FOX 5.

Like any country, the micronation has rules for residents. Prohibited actions include wearing crocodiles, eating string cheese by biting it instead of tearing it apart, and playing “mumble rap” music.

The micronation is not officially recognized by the United States, although Williams’ Slojamastan passport has been stamped by 16 countries. He also claims that 5,000 people have applied to become citizens.

Micronations such as Slowjamastan are independent but not formally recognized by sovereign states. There are an estimated 70 worldwide.

It was a micronation in Nevada called ‘Republic of Molossia’ that gave Williams the idea to come up with Slowjamastan.

Since buying the land in 2021, the sultan has done his utmost to cultivate the nation and put it on the map.

The country has a national anthem called ‘Slowjamastan (I think it will be a great place),’ a ‘Parliament’ and a national animal – the ring-tailed raccoon.

Slowjamastan also has its own currency – the ‘duble’, which is a play on the Russian currency, the ruble.

When asked what the structure of the government is, the ‘Sultan’ said it is a dictatorship that is a democracy at times.

“Some days we are a republic, but (other) days we have a dictatorship,” the radio DJ told FOX 5.

“I am the great leader who makes the rules, although sometimes… we let the community talk about issues that are important to the Slovak people,” he said.

Aside from banning crocs and banning “mumble rap,” residents are not allowed to drive in the left lane unless they actually pass another car.

There are no citizens living in Slowjamastan, but there are thousands of citizens all over the world and tons are still waiting in line.

Williams said the name of his new country is a reference to his time as a slow-jams DJ on Southern California’s Magic 92.5.

“The sultan is the sultan of slow jams,” said Williams.

“He likes the Boys II Men, and the Usher, and the Alicia Keys, Luther Vandross, and Anita Baker,” the man said in third person.

“That’s exactly what we wanted – the land of slow jams where people could just come and relax,” the “Sultan” continued.

Williams said the micronation has no infrastructure, but there are plans to build solar power facilities, an armadillo farm and a Mongolian barbecue restaurant.

He said he hopes the US will recognize Slowjamastan with additional developments for the barren state and residents, many of whom it already has.

“We have citizens from all six continents,” Williams told the San Diego outlet.

“We are very proud citizens… These people are proud to be part of something new and fresh,” the “Sultan” continued.

Those wishing to travel to “The United Territories of the Sovereign Nation of the People’s Republic of Slowjastan” must purchase a visa.

Without permission, visitors cannot enter the area and are encouraged to take a selfie with the boundary sign on Highway 78 in Imperial County.

Micronations are legal, but are considered independent developments that exist as a state within a state, similar to Native American reservations.

The concept of small, self-governing countries is certainly not new.

The Empire of Atlantium, a micronation founded in 1981 in a suburb of Sydney, was reported by BBC in 2022 because of the way it came out in the public eye.

Founder George Cruickshank, a teenager at the time, declared the ‘nation’ independent from Australia and has maintained that status ever since.

“The idea of ​​a sovereign nation-state with full authority over its citizens within certain boundaries is only a fairly recent development, and it led to all the horrors of the 20th century,” Cruickshank said.
