Mark Corona is an international Speaker and Game Show Host focused on employee and customer retention. As the Chief Border Agent and co-founder of Slowjamastan, a satirical nation boasting over 20,000 citizens worldwide, Mark’s mission is simple: Retain, engage and entertain.
In a world where nations are often defined by their size or political power, a small country known as Slowjamastan is defying expectations. This tiny but growing nation has caught the attention of millions worldwide—not through politics or economics, but through its quirky, fun, and unconventional laws. Founded with a mission to bring joy and connection to people in a playful way, Slowjamastan is quickly becoming the place to be.
A movement of quirky laws
Slowjamastan, Co-founded by Mark Corona, is more than just a patch of land with borders—it’s a movement. Built on the idea that community can thrive through laughter and shared experiences, the country has developed a reputation for its out-of-the-box thinking and unique laws. Slowjamastan’s playful approach to governance is something rarely seen, and it’s exactly what has attracted over 20,000 registered citizens to this new nation.
One of Slowjamastan’s most popular draws? It's quirky laws. From a complete ban on Crocs to strict rules about how string cheese must be eaten (it’s peel, not bite, by the way), Slowjamastan has quickly become a beacon for those seeking a lighter, more fun approach to life.
What makes Slowjamastan’s laws so unique?
Let’s take a closer look:
No crocs allowed: Crocs, the widely debated footwear, are strictly forbidden. According to Mark Corona, this law reflects the country’s commitment to style and its firm stance on not letting comfort override good taste. If caught, Mark will forcibly remove it and beat you over the head (playfully, of course) with your own dirty Croc.
String cheese etiquette: Don’t even think about biting into string cheese here. In Slowjamastan, it’s a requirement to peel it one string at a time. The law may seem small, but it’s symbolic of the country’s focus on savoring life’s little pleasures.
No mumble rap: Slowjamastan has a deep appreciation for clear, meaningful lyrics, so mumble rap is banned. The preferred soundtrack in this nation is smooth, easy-to-understand tunes—think LL Cool J, Vanilla Ice, and Boys II Men.
No speeding: Speeding is strictly prohibited—unless you have tacos, because let’s be honest, what’s fun about soggy tacos?
These laws, while lighthearted, play a significant role in building Slowjamastan’s sense of identity and community. Citizens bond over shared values, laughing together as they navigate life in a place where having fun is a priority.
Who keeps Slowjamastan’s quirky laws alive?
Behind the scenes of this unique nation is Mark Corona, the Chief Border Patrol Agent of Slowjamastan. While his title might sound serious, his role is all about keeping the nation’s spirit alive and ensuring its quirky laws are upheld. Corona has embraced his position with enthusiasm, proudly driving his custom-built Border Patrol truck and ensuring that Slowjamastan remains a place where its unique rules are respected.
Corona’s mission isn’t about enforcing rules with an iron fist. Instead, he focuses on keeping Slowjamastan’s citizens engaged and happy. His approach is one of retention rather than exclusion. In Slowjamastan, the goal isn’t to deport lawbreakers; it’s to keep the fun going and ensure that everyone enjoys their experience within the nation’s borders.
To help maintain order (and fun), Slowjamastan boasts a fleet of iconic vehicles, including a fire truck, police car, and Corona’s trusty Border Patrol truck. These vehicles have become symbols of the country’s commitment to both safety and entertainment.
