Slowjamastan is a satirical micronation established by Randy "R Dub!" Williams, a radio host, located in Imperial County near California's Salton Sea. Declaring independence four years ago, it features a modest capital, Dublandia, with a toll booth, a call box, and no official residents or buildings. Unrecognized by other nations including the U.S., Slowjamastan symbolizes a blend of humor and performance art, rooted in the historical micronation movement that emerged as a form of anti-establishment expression in the 1960s and '70s. Williams drew inspiration from his travels, particularly his visit to the Republic of Molossia.
At the center of its capital, dubbed Dublandia, is a square patch of concrete that supports a call box, a flagpole and the desk of the Sultan, Randy Williams.
Williams said he was inspired to create his micronation after visiting the Republic of Molossia, in Reno, embodying anti-establishment sentiments.
Slowjamastan is half joke, half ongoing performance art, existing alongside economic collapse, declaring independence without any formal recognition from the United States.
The micronation movement emerged in the 1960s and '70s as a form of anti-establishment expression, a tradition that Williams embraces with his creation.
