Washington: Forget electricity and plumbing; those are mere trifles. The real ticket to legitimacy for Slowjamastan? A seat at the NATO Summit, of course!
This past Monday, His Excellency The Sultan, accompanied by Chief Porder Batroller Mark Corona, ventured beyond the sacred borders of Slowjamastan. Their mission? To take Washington DC by storm and attend the grand NATO Summit.
It’s on Wikipedia, the beacon of absolute truth and reliability, so you know it’s 100% official!A big shout-out to San Diego TSA’s James, our hero in uniform, who skillfully navigated us through the labyrinth of airport security!The Chief caught The Sultan snoozing, blissfully unaware of the severe consequences awaiting anyone daring to capture an unflattering shot of His Excellency!
Experts have hailed this NATO Summit as one for the history books. Serious matters were undoubtedly on the docket. Nevertheless, the Sultan and Chief Corona were given the floor to voice Slowjamastan’s concerns, no matter how trivial they might seem to the rest of the world.
What weighty issues did they bring to the table, you ask? The burgeoning raccoon population in Slowjamastan, guidelines for string cheese consumption (a pressing matter, naturally), a plea for funding the Lazy River project, and a heartfelt call to eradicate Crocs from the face of the Earth. Feedback was mixed but generally positive.
Slowjamastan proudly stands with our military allies in America—because every superpower needs a backup dance partner!
And then, the pièce de résistance on the Sultan’s agenda: acquiring a tank. Specifically, a gently used M1 Abrams. While the details remain murky, a mysterious $490,000 charge on the Slowjamastan company credit card has sparked hope.
The Sultan and Chief Corona also found themselves under the media spotlight, fielding probing questions such as “Who are you?” “What are you wearing?” and “How did you get in here?” The international press was truly captivated.

Post-summit, they mingled with Washington’s crème de la crème at the “NATO to the Future Event,” rubbing shoulders with top elites and policy makers. The Sultan and Chief Corona charmed everyone with their wit and grace, earning kudos from their hosts.

Wednesday saw them on a V.I.P. tour of DC, courtesy of local news channel WTOP and reporter Matt Kaufax. “Ranger Mike” Litterst of the National Park Services provided a guided tour of iconic landmarks like the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. Slowjamastan’s Not-So-Secret Service was on hand for crowd control, as throngs of admirers flocked to catch a glimpse of their beloved leaders.
Pictured: Ranger Mike, WTOP’s Matt Kaufax, The Sultan, and Chief, in front of the Washington Monument (or as the Sultan fondly calls it, “that big steeple”). Because who needs accurate landmark names when you’ve got charisma like ours?This lucky family from Nepal encounters The Sultan and Chief—proof that Slowjamastan’s influence reaches even the most remote corners of the globe!This Australian family gives Abe Lincoln a well-deserved snub to engage in lively conversation with Slowjamastan’s esteemed dignitaries—because who needs historical icons when you can hobnob with modern legends?Though clearly out of his jurisdiction, The Sultan valiantly removes and annihilates a menacing Croc—because no silly rubber footwear is safe when Slowjamastan’s leadership is on the prowl!
Naturally, no diplomatic escapade is truly complete without a mandatory pilgrimage to The White House. The Sultan extends his heartfelt gratitude to Congresswoman Sara Jacobs for pulling the strings to sneak him and the chief past security.
The Sultan tours the White House for home-décor inspo: “Is this where they keep the minimalist chandeliers?”
Thursday’s summit activities were capped off with a presentation at The Bush School, discussing “Outcomes for the Baltic, Black Sea, and Asia-Pacific Regions.” Unfortunately, the school’s director, Lieutenant General Jay Silveria, was not enamored with the Sultan’s regal attire and politely requested their departure before the presentation even began. Ever magnanimous, the Sultan chalked it up to a simple misunderstanding and spent the extra time mingling with the adoring public.
“I’d rather be with the people anyway,” he mused. “The wonderful people of America, and specifically Washington, were just fantastic to us, and we’d like to commend them for their hospitality and kindness.”

Hello, my glorious Sultan! Glad to see the very fine work you’ve done in Washington. I am very glad you removed her Crocs, it’s one less person to worry about. Glory to Slowjamastan, and Glory to the Sultan

“Get the cheese”
My Dear Sultan, we must gain admission to the United Nations as a full voting member. Permit me the honor of assisting with the process and nominating myself for the Volunteer Position of Ambassador to the UN.
Ah, my dear citizen, your ambition is as grand as Slowjamastan’s borders—both expansive and brimming with potential! While the notion of gaining United Nations membership is intriguing, I must first remind you that the application process likely involves more than simply sending an email and offering free snacks.
That said, your self-nomination for Ambassador is duly noted, and while I can’t promise you a seat just yet, your enthusiasm will certainly be recorded in the annals of Slowjamastan’s diplomatic history. As for volunteering—perhaps you could begin by leading our Crocs Ban Diplomacy Initiative? It’s a task of monumental importance.
