The '''[[bald notothen]]''' is a species of cod icefish native to the [[Southern Ocean]] where it is found in the [[Weddell Sea]], the [[Ross Sea]], the Davis Sea, in Vincennes Bay, and around the Budd Coast, the [[Antarctic Peninsula]], South Orkneys and South Shetland Islands.
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.


It can be found at depths of from the surface to 550 meters (1,800 ft) though it is much rarer below 30 meters (98 ft). This species is often found along the under surfaces of [[ice]] foraging for prey such as sympagic copepods and [[krill]]. In turn, it is known to be preyed upon by the [[ploughfish]] and the [[Antarctic toothfish]]. Antifreeze proteins in its blood prevent it freezing in the subzero water temperatures of [[Antarctica]].
