Slowjamastan, officially dubbed "The United Territories of the Sovereign Nation of the People's Republic of Slowjamastan," was founded on December 1, 2021, by Randy "R Dub!" Williams, a San Diego-based radio DJ famous for hosting Sunday Night Slow Jams, a syndicated show spinning smooth R&B tracks. The "slow jams" theme is the micronation's quirky backbone—think Luther Vandross and Anita Baker as its spiritual soundtrack. Williams, who's styled himself the "Sultan of Slowjamastan," bought an 11.07-acre plot of empty desert land along California State Route 78 for $19,000 in October 2021, inspired by a visit to another micronation, Molossia, in Nevada. His goal? Create a playful, rule-breaking alternative to the everyday grind.This isn't just a patch of sand with a flag (though it has one—plus a border sign, a "customs" post, and an open-air desk for the Sultan). Slowjamastan mimics real nations with its own currency (the "duble," pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar), passports (featuring hip-hop quotes), and a national anthem, "Slowjamastan (I Think It's Gonna Be an Awesome Place)," penned by Williams himself. The population? Zero residents on-site, but over 19,000 "citizens" worldwide as of mid-2024.
