The Republic of Slowjamastan is sovereign. Independent. Glorious. We extend the hand of friendship to all people, all lands, and all those bold enough to declare their place among nations. We welcome friendly relations with all.

But let there be no confusion in the international village.

Effective August 26th, 2022, the Republic of Slowjamastan no longer enters into formal diplomatic relations with any nation. No treaties. No compacts. No official alliances wrapped in decorative paper and empty ceremony. We recognized that our previous foreign policy was too restrictive and not fully aligned with the mighty principle of Declarative Statehood.

This principle stands at the very foundation of many small nations and finds support in the Montevideo Convention of 1933, which recognized the idea that a state does not need recognition from other states in order to exist as sovereign. In simple words: if you declare your nation, govern your nation, and build your nation, you do not need someone else’s permission to be real. Slowjamastan applies this same standard to smaller, unrecognized nations just as we apply it to larger nations that ignore us.

So our policy is simple. We are friendly to all, but we do not offer formal recognition, formal treaties, or formal alliances of any kind. They are unnecessary. Your sovereignty does not begin when someone signs paper. Your sovereignty begins when you claim it.

But now pay very close attention, because this is where many nations make tragic mistake.

Too many seek legitimacy through emails, certificates, declarations, and requests for formal ties. Too many ask, “Who will recognize us?” when the better question is, “Where must we go to be seen, respected, and connected?”

The answer is not hidden in paperwork.

The answer is MicroCon 27.

 

 

If you seek alliances, this is where they are born.
If you seek friendship with fellow nations, this is where it happens.
If you seek recognition among your peers, this is where you earn it.
If you seek understanding, support, visibility, and meaningful relationships in the micronational world, this is the place.

MicroCon 27 is not merely event. It is gathering of flags, founders, dreamers, rulers, diplomats, and builders of nations. It is where doors open. It is where conversations become cooperation. It is where your nation stops being just website, map, or proclamation — and becomes part of living international community.

So no, Slowjamastan will not sign treaty with you.

But we will tell you where to go if you truly want what treaties are supposed to give you.

 

Register for MicroCon 27. Immediately. Attend. Show your flag. Meet your fellow leaders. Shake hands. Build friendships. Form understandings. Create the future of your nation in person, where it matters.

This policy is not isolationist. Slowjamastan welcomes friendly informal relations with all nations, large and small, and we remain proud to encourage and assist new nations on their journey.

But for those seeking recognition, alliances, friendship, community, and their place in this strange and beautiful world of nation-building:

Do not wait for documents.
