Hi, it’s Minoa with a story behind why I founded Levram on this Labour Day afternoon:
This afternoon, I browsed the How-to Geek website and discovered a parody comic called Normalman, where a person with no superpowers lives in a planet where every other inhabitant has superpowers.
The planet is called Levram, which is Marvel spelled backwards, and when I ran the name through the Boneyard, I found out that no one had ever registered the planet’s name.
And yes, I still do need to rewrite my main nation’s universe. I feel it is awful because it is too piecemeal, along with the fact that trying to predicting the future is as easy as getting the Republican Party to form a federal coalition government with the Democratic Party (or vice versa).

[b]Anything else?:[/b] [/spoiler]
Name: Rex
Type of Animal: Puppy
Breed: Mixed/Mutt
Age: 14 weeks old.
Photo(s):
Where did the leader of your NationState get this pet? It was actually on a recent trip to England and somebody found him online for £300.00 and the president liked his photos, he was on his own but he forwarded the photos to First Lady Layla-Mandy via text, she was a little bit surprised but was eager to meet it. He was purchased from a home in Hartlepool by the leader in person to the surprise of the woman selling this puppy, Randle took him back to London, where he walked Rex around Westminster Bridge and Parliament Square, our leader lovingly said to Rex walking him in front of TNA reporters 'You don't know that this is a famous place do you?' The president then took him with him to Buckingham Palace where he had dinner with The Queen. Rex met the queen's corgis before the president took him to the local Hippie embassy and fast tracking him a visa before naturalizing him and granting Rex citizenship of The Hippie Commune of Ilovebenderdotcomland before returning back to Willow's Grave Airfield 20 minutes outside of Hometown on Air Force Wan, the flight took 9 hours 45 minutes from London, it was Rex's first flight, Rex got used to the airplane after a while. Rex had his microchip/rabies vaccination/and unfortunately was neutered in England, a specialty adviser had to be sourced at the embassy in London to confirm the dog was eligible for a Pets Passport and now has a Hippie Passport. The UK deemed him not a health risk as Rex was born there and they didn't bother to stamp it, this time. The president took that as a sign of good faith from Rex's birth country and this dog made his first diplomatic move in the UK and ILB's decision.
Was your leader the leader of your NationState when they got this pet? Yes.
Does this pet travel with the leader and their family overseas?: Yes.
Anything else?: Rex happily travels the world with President Robert Randle aboard Air Force Wan as well as living in his new tropical home, The Presidential Palace, Hometown, Ilovebenderdotcomland, as well his home in Willow's Grave, Downtown Hometown, and Springfield. Some say the first couple enjoy this dog, other's say it's more the president. Some say Rex is the president's comfort animal for travel, others say that the president just gets a kick out of showing Rex the world where he and staff take pictures of Rex all around the world on trips with the president from Buckingham Palace to The White House to trips on Safari and Japan. Rex's Instagram has over half a million followers.
