Power of imagination In the past few days, some foreign netizens who use Twitter have suddenly noticed a new country name – “Listenbourg”.
“Risenberg” entered the top five searched lists on Twitter. Relevant data shows that in the past five days, there have been nearly 100,000 Twitter posts about “Risenberg”. It is estimated that no one on Earth has heard the name “Risenberg”, let alone the country.
What exactly is going on?
In fact, the so-called country of Lisenberg was completely created by the brains of the netizens of the crooked country, and this thing has intensified!
Let’s start by introducing the “founding father”, Twitter French user “Gaspardooo” (@gaspardooo).
Now all those who play the “Risenberg” meme on Twitter have to thank him for a tweet on the 30th of last month:
“I’m sure Americans don’t even know the name of this country.”
A similar picture of a European map is attached to the post, but if you carefully compare the real European map, you will find that the location pointed by the arrow in the picture is a large area of land near Portugal and Spain, which is completely redundant.
That is to say, the country at the arrow position on this map does not exist at all.
But what does it matter? The purpose of this netizen is to use this non-existent country to ridicule the “geographically blind” Americans. (Because most Americans live alone in North America, they often do not know the approximate locations of countries in Eurasia)
In this cheating session on geographically blind American netizens, the brain-opening netizen “Gaspardo” not only presented a p-made map, but also gave a name to this virtual country.
This is the origin of the country “Riesenburg”.
Originally, if this post did not have the group relay of the brain hole netizens, it would face the fate of demise after laughing at everyone. However, netizens who saw this tweet for the first time seemed to have found a bosom friend.
The following netizens also affirmed the existence of the country of Lisenberg with a firm tone in the comment area.
With the magic at the beginning, a larger magical world opens up:
Many netizens made crazy brains, and put all kinds of history and materials needed for the founding of the country in Lisenberg onto Twitter.
All of a sudden, Lisenberg had a national flag, still a mighty golden eagle with a red and yellow background, no less than a real country.
Some people supplemented basic information such as Lisenberg’s geographic population. They claimed that Lisenburg has a population of 59 million and has become a member of the European Union, the United Nations, and NATO since October 31 this year.
The official language is “Listenbourgois”, which is the ancestor of France.
It’s not enough to have text descriptions, soon, the country map of Lisenburg is coming in HD!
As can be seen from the map, there are 5 major provinces in Lisenburg, and the national capital is a place called “Lurenberg”.
Some netizens contributed high-definition satellite maps, which made people feel intuitively: this country is really well built.
What is even more exaggerated is that on the second day after the original Lisenberg post appeared, at almost the same time, “official accounts” such as “Lisenberg Interior Ministry”, “Lisenburg Foreign Affairs Office”, and “Lisenburg Carrefour” also suddenly appeared. Official announcement.
(Ministry of the Interior)
They show Risenberg’s ID template —
Showing off the passport of a citizen of Lisenburg,
“Carrefour Lisenburg” has started to distribute vouchers.
And try to run a local routine like a competent supermarket online account.
“Which is your favorite city in #Lisenburg?”
In addition to Carrefour’s Lisenburg branch, the beverage company, McDonald’s, high-speed rail, and Amazon’s video also have a Lisenburg branch (all newly registered and appointed by netizens – -|||)!
These fake official accounts, from the coordinate positioning, to the avatar background image, to the account profile, can not be said to have nothing to do with the official account, it can only be said to be exactly the same…
And some popular science accounts, starting from the history of Lisenberg, narrated the development process of this great country to netizens around the world:
“The origin of the country’s name can be traced back to a passage in Plato’s book Critias, which in the old Lisenberg language meant ‘great people’. Plato tells us a difficult Believed, a civilization with superior technology than all others.”
“In 1661, Lisenberg fought one of the greatest wars in its history. In fact, that same year, Louis XIV came to power in France and called himself the “Sun King”—a misappropriation from King Lissen V title, the latter had been called the ‘Sun King’, which angered the people of Lisenburg.”
“From 754 to 1661, Lisenburg was a country that knew how to stay behind and cultivate the art of diplomacy. For nearly 1,000 years, Lisenburg never went to war with another European country.”
Regarding the entanglement between Lisenberg and France, some netizens also added that Lisenburg once colonized France not far away in ancient times.
And the citizens of Lisenberg also gathered to share the good life of living in Lisenburg.
“This is our rural landscape of Lisenberg.”
“Our grand stop sign in Lisenberg.”
Other Lisenberg nationals were also frantically licking their screens in the comment area, “I like it, it’s simple and effective, the typical Lisenberg-Benburg way.”
“Our engineering in Lisenberg is always at its peak.”
The average face value of our Lisenberg women is probably this:
Beautiful environment, developed economy, high quality of life, easy visa…
After this wave of offensives, some European netizens have already sent immigration requests to the Lisenberg Ministry of Foreign Affairs, asking what the procedures are.
Of course, there are also some “foreign netizens” who deny the existence of the country of Lisenberg on the Internet. Whenever they encounter these “ignorant netizens”, netizens in Lisenberg will frantically defend their country:
“How can it be fictional? This country is 100% real!”
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to, but Lisenberg is 100% real because I live there!”
