Lebanon (IPA: /lɛ.bə.nɔn/) (Arabic: لبنان Lubnān) (French: Liban), officially the Lebanese Republic , is a small, largely mountainous country in the Middle East, located at the eastern edge of the Mediterranean Sea. It is bordered by Syria to the north and east, and Israel to the south. Due to its sectarian diversity, Lebanon follows a special political system, known as confessionalism, meant to distribute power as evenly as possible among different sects.
