In August 2020 Lehmark changed our National Sport from Reformer Pilates to Soccer and in August 2021 Lehmark FC Legends was founded as our National Soccer Team by Anni Crowshurst, Club Founder.
In the later half of 2021, our National Soccer Team - Lehmark FC Legends has been participating in MicroNations League Cup and has been competing weekly against other micronational soccer teams. The game is similar to fantasy football and provides a way for our team to participate.
Throughout 2021, Anni has gone on to found multiple fantasy teams across multiple sports including:
Soccer Team - Lehmark FC

Women's Aussie Football
Science Policy
As at 16 November 2021 - Science Policy
The Empire of Lehmark successfully launched the Lehmark Space Agency. From here the Department hopes to fund the purchase of a licence, insurance and a miniature rocket in order to conduct missions. Funding is being sought by the Department from the Treasury - funding is slow due to limited funding available.
Lehmark Space Agency
The Emperor and Autocrat along with the Imperial Chancellor are proud to launch the Lehmark Space Agency.
The purpose of the Space Agency is to engage Citizens of Lehmark with rocketry and live feeds of our missions, all environmental concerns will be managed prior to any launches. Launches are conducted in an open and safe manner.
Funding for the Space Agency comes primarily from the Empire's Voluntary Taxation Program, the sale of National Merchandise and the Emperor himself.
A License and insurance has been purchased through the British Model Flying Association (BMFA) and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), the cost was generously donated by Lady Anni, Countess of Salop.
The purchase of a model rocket for a mission is the our next step, towards the development and functionality of the Space Agency.
Finally all missions will be 'live' streamed on our Twitter page.
In April 2022, the Space Agency conducted its Maiden Voyage and it was a success - view here - the launch coincided with the Empire's Independence Day Celebrations and Ceremonies.
