Lebanon is a small Mediterranean country located in the Middle East. Politically, it has a multi-confessional system of government, which is based on a power-sharing agreement among various religious communities. This system has served as the basis for Lebanon's government since independence in 1943. The main political parties in Lebanon are the Sunni Muslim Future Movement, the Shia Hezbollah, and the Christian Maronite Free Patriotic Movement. These parties have been engaged in a long-running struggle for control over the country's resources and institutions. In recent years, Lebanon has faced numerous security issues due to regional tensions and domestic instability caused by sectarian divisions and economic hardships. Political leaders from all sides have sought to revive the country's economy through increased foreign investment and greater access to international markets. Despite these challenges, Lebanon has continued to remain relatively stable due to its strong commitment to democracy and its diverse population.

How It Works:
Here at BestPlaces, we were looking at the voting patterns since the 2000 election and realized that we could express the results of each election as one letter. R if the Republican Party candidate won, D if the Democratic Party candidate won and I if the Independent Party candidate won. The six elections (2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020) would be expressed as six-letter word (R R D R R).
Then we went a little further and added the dimension of magnitude. If the difference of victory was greater than 10 percent, the letter is upper case, and lower case if the difference was less than 10 percent. This allows us to see interesting voting patterns at just a glance.
