The '''[[Kingdom of Argonne]]''' is a miniature Kingdom that was established in 2019 as the '''Prince-Abbacy of Inselwald'''. Although the kingdom shares many characteristics of a [[micronation]], it does not generally consider itself to be a micronation and prefers the self-descriptive term ''miniature monarchy''. The Prince-Abbacy of Inselwald was first launched in 2019 in order to provide legitimacy for the Noble Chapter of the Grand Hunt, before being reimagined the next year as the Kingdom of Argonne. The current ruler is the former King James of Scone, His Majesty [[King James of Argonne|King James Richard]].
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.


Although there are a number of ties between Argonne and [[Westarctica]], none of them are formal. This is seen as being primarily due to the relative infancy of the Kingdom, with official [[Foreign relations of Westarctica|diplomatic ties]] very likely in the future. [[King James of Argonne|King James]] and [[Grand Duke Travis]] of Westarctica are personal friends, in addition to enjoying good relations with the [[Kingdom of Scone]] during the King's time on the Sconnish throne. The King also retains membership in multiple [[Orders of Westarctica|Westarctican orders]] from his time as King of Scone.
