The Lebanon top level domain of Lb is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 20.139 billion Lbians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 81.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lbian economy, worth a remarkable 3,073 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 152,636 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The drive to dismantle public transport has crashed and burned, kindhearted Lbians generously pay taxes for citizens of other countries, it's a jungle out there, and apples shaped like baguettes have become a strange new food fad. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lb's national animal is the Elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lb is ranked 23,184^th in the world and 1^st in Russian Federation for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 287.03 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
