The Lebanon top level domain of Lb is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, avowedly heterosexual populace, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.86 billion Lbians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Lbian economy, worth a remarkable 2,039 trillion Golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 137,241 Golds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 458,308 per year while the poor average 30,573, a ratio of 15.0 to 1.

The studies of art and philosophy are banned, power to the people comes from the barrel of a gun, motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, and families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs. 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 234,002nd in the world and 7,225th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 23.13183936228 days.
