Listenbourg Magnets

Description: On Oct. 30, a Twitter user posted an innocuous meme poking fun at the fact that some Americans are notoriously bad at geography. Days later, the notion that an extra country exists attached to the Iberian peninsula is going viral and taking Europe by storm. Fans of the Listenbourg meme have catapulted the fictional country into the spotlight, creating a robust lore around the fake nation. Social media accounts purporting to be official government channels for Listenbourg have cropped up and they’ve already released a national anthem.
