Lebanon is a small Middle Eastern country that is roughly two-thirds the size of Connecticut. It is situated on the Mediterranean Sea between Syria and Israel; however, the borders with both countries are the subject of much dispute. Lebanon is a mountainous country that is divided by the fertile Bekaa Valley. Arabic, French, English, and Armenian are the predominant languages. More than half of the population is Muslim, but there is a large percentage that is Christian. Lebanon has a diverse economy with many social classes and is slowly recovering from its civil war and the unrest in the region. Lebanon is now home to many Palestinian and Iraqi refugees who often live in substandard conditions.
