the ambulatory free states of obsidia

THE WORLDS ONLY MOBILE FEMINIST NATION

The Ambulatory Free States of Obsidia is a tiny, Matriarchal, Micro-nation located at the confluence of feminism and geography.

Grand Marshal Yagjian's Great Vision for The Ambulatory Free States of Obsidia came in 2015 when its land claim was 'liberated' from a former lover’s house for a greater purpose.

Obsidia’s humble territory, a chunk of Obsidian rock (roughly 2 lbs in weight) became the basis for a new nation. Easily transported in its official state briefcase, the nation can change locations at any time. Obsidia is usually found at the embassy in Oakland, California. Other sovereign soil includes a 29-foot sailboat and dinghy which comprises Obsidia's Navy.

Obsidia has an egalitarian structure and our officials hold no real power. In Obsidia we strive to find alternatives to capitalism and promote self-expression through creative nation building projects. The objectives of the government of Obsidia are to institutionalize leadership for those traditionally excluded, increase visibility for femme/feminist/LGBTQ people and explore concepts for an ideal governance.

Our "anti-state" is currently surrounded on all borders by Oakland, California. In Obsidia we do not enforce borders. Obsidia has a completely open immigration policy which allows non-citizens to travel freely to any national territory. 

Due to size limitations and fragility, humans can not physically enter the landmass.
