The Federated Emirate of Shihabi Lebanon is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Hareth Shihab with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 9.853 billion Lebanese enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beirut. The average income tax rate is 55.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lebanese economy, worth a remarkable 1,185 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 120,325 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Prisoners fit in their parole hearings around their spa treatments, polygamy is legal, pocket calculators are seen as status symbols for the ostentatiously wealthy, and attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shihabi Lebanon's national animal is the Canaan dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Maronite Syriac Church.

Shihabi Lebanon is ranked 11,072^nd in the world and 2^nd in The Gulf Cooperation Council for Most Cultured, scoring 109 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
