Other sovereign soil includes the embassy in Oakland, California and a 29-foot sailboat and dinghy which comprises Obsidia's Navy.
The government of Obsida has an egalitarian structure and officials hold no real power. The objectives of the government of Obsidia are to institutionalize feminist/LGBTQ leadership, explore alternatives to capitalism, and promote self-expression.[2]
