The '''[[Balleny Islands]]''' are a series of uninhabited islands in the [[Southern Ocean]]. The islands are heavily glaciated and of volcanic origin. [[glacier|Glaciers]] project from their slopes into the sea. The islands became a colony when [[Westarctica]] formally annexed it from New Zealand on 14 January 2005. [[Duke of Sherman|Jorge Fernandez Vidal]] was appointed its Governor, and following the first successful minting of the Balleny Islands coin, Vidal was given the title Count of Sturge.
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.


Two symbols were created by the Governor of the Balleny Islands shortly after they were annexed by Westarctica: the coat of arms and the flag. The coat of arms features heraldic devices from Spain, France, and the region where Mr. Vidal was born, as well as an [[emperor penguin]], the symbol of Westarctica. The flag of the islands is the 2004 - 2008 flag of Westarctica with the colors reversed and the coat of arms of the Balleny Islands in the upper left quadrant in place of the crown of Westarctica.
