Two Years in, the Republic of Slowjamastan is Thriving

The world’s newest “Republic” is celebrating it’s 2nd birthday this month. The country is on 11 acres in Southern California and is the brain child of it’s Sultan and Supreme Leader, Randy Williams.  I am so enamored about the idea of Slowjamastan that  I have become a citizen, and was thinking of packing my bags and moving there.  Here’s the thing though, you don’t have to live in Slowjamastan to be a citizen, and if you want to be a citizen it’s as easy and signing up online, which you can do here.    It’s hard for me to explain exactly what Slowjamastan is, so listen to my interview with Randy Williams:

In case you aren’t where you can listen to the audio, and you were wondering why you would want to become a Slowjamastani. 

1. The wearing of Crocs is banned. 

2. It’s against the law to eat string cheese in big bites.  It must be pulled apart into strings (hence the name)

3. If you are caught speeding in the Republic but you have a bag of tacos with you, you will not get a speeding ticket because tacos are terrible cold.
