The Federal States of Lebanese Marounistan is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Samy Gemayel with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions and compulsory military service. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.683 billion Lebanese are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beirut. The average income tax rate is 20.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Lebanese Marounistanian economy, worth 224 trillion Lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,837 Lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
The atmosphere in Lebanese Marounistanian boardrooms is turning more gay, party leaders rely on horoscopes to create "ticket balance", there's a literal nanny state for the legions of children taken by social services, and the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lebanese Marounistan's national animal is the Striped Hyena and its national religion is Secular.
Lebanese Marounistan is ranked 104,284th in the world and 31st in Union Mundial for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.54 law-abiding acts per hour.
