Most of us often get bored with our mundane lives so we take a break by watching a movie, going on a trip or hanging out with our buddies to entertain ourselves. But few could have thought of finding a whole new micronation out of boredom only to crown themselves a sultan of the land. Well, Randy Williams from San Diego did the unthinkable. He got bored out of his mind living in a regular country, went to a Californian desert and established a new micronation.

According to CNN, Williams said that he also self-appointed himself as the sultan of the new country. "I ran out of countries, so I created my own," Williams told the outlet. Slowjamastan, which spreads over 11.07-acre of land in the deserted area of Southern California's Route 78 also has another official name. Its official name is The United Territories of The Sovereign Nation of The People’s Republic of Slowjamastan, which is named like that because of its leader's undying love for slow jams.

Slowjamastan was declared having a sovereign status on December 1, 2021 and the micronation even has its own flag, currency and national anthem. The nation's specialties do not end here. Slowjamastan also has its own time zone and a capital city called Dublândia. In an interview with the news outlet, Williams revealed that he has visited another micronation called the Republic of Molossia which is located in Nevada and supposedly seceded from the US in 1998. Drawing inspiration from this visit, Williams went back home to buy a piece of land in California before declaring the country independent after three months.

But irrespective of Williams’ claims, it’s debatable whether or not Slowjamastan is recognized as an independent nation. The self-appointed sultan told Insider, that he failed to get President Joe Biden to acknowledge his micronation's secession via email and social media. But it’s all good we guess since the Sultan’s mom has recognized the nation as independent according to their official website, and Slowjamastan has no listed diplomatic relations with other nations. 

However, the website states that the country is currently under “dictatorship” but that can hopefully change someday. "Currently, we have 5,000+ amazing, registered Slowjamastanis in the census," Williams told Insider. "We do not have any elections planned, although it is not off the table. I'm trying to get this beautiful nation off the ground before I let anyone else run it into the ground!" The interesting thing is, this micronation also has its own set of quirky rules. "Crocs are not allowed inside the Republic of Slowjamastan," the statute reads. "Punishment for violation: We will forcibly remove a 'Croc' and beat you over the head with it." 

Being a sultan of this deserted land is not his only occupation because Williams also hosts an internationally-syndicated radio show called Sunday Night Slow Jams, currently heard on over 200 radio stations across America. Williams has “big dreams” for his tiny nation which include “constructing a grand palace for The Sultan and his harem" but for now, he is concentrating on the people of his nation. Among the fun things that Williams has planned for the nation are a lazy river, an interactive armadillo farm, and an all-you-can-eat Mongolian restaurant. Well, we would love to see how Williams' dreams unfold and hopefully Slowjamastan is going to be an independent nation someday.
