The Republic of Slowjamastan is a North American micronation landlocked within Imperial County, Southern California. It covers 11.07 acres of land, parallel to California State Route 78, between the towns of Ocotillo Wells and Westmorland. Slowjamastan was founded on 18 August 2021 by nationally syndicated radio personality Randy "R Dub!" Williams who would immediately declare himself Sultan of Slowjamastan. While no physical land was in possession when the nation was founded, on 3 September 2021, Williams entered into an agreement to purchase eleven acres of land. On 4 October 2021, Williams completed escrow and closed the deal on his land purchase.

-'''[[Desert Homestead]]''' is a province of the [[Republic of Molossia]] located in western San Bernardino County, about 31 km (19 mi) northeast of the town of Yucca Valley, California. Desert Homestead is exactly five acres in size and is open low desert, with mostly sand, scrub brush and creosote bushes. It lies on a low ridge not far from Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree, California, and is near to the Twenty-nine Palms Marine Corps Base and Joshua Tree National Monument.

-In 2008, prior to reclaiming the throne of [[Westarctica]], and prior to becoming the King of [[Colony of Calsahara|Calsahara]], [[Grand Duke Travis]] was asked by President Baugh to serve Molossia as Governor of Desert Homestead. This request was made due to the Grand Duke's close proximity to Desert Homestead (Los Angeles is only a three hour drive away) as well as the President's desire to see Travis return to the world of [[Micronations|micronations]].
