Lebanon is a small country in the Middle East with a long and complicated history of political conflict. It is divided into regions based on religious differences and has several different governing bodies operating in the region. The political landscape in Lebanon is complex, with various groups vying for control and influence over the government. The country's current Prime Minister Saad Hariri is supported by a coalition of mainly Sunni Muslims who are allied with Christian parties, while Hezbollah, a militant group supported by Iran, is also influential in some parts of the nation. There have been several attempts at forming national unity governments that included all factions, however these efforts have so far failed to bring lasting peace to the nation. Lebanon has experienced numerous civil wars and uprisings throughout its modern history, leading many to fear potential instability in the future. Despite this uncertainty, Lebanon remains an important regional player and continues to be home to vibrant culture and diverse communities.

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.
