There is no end, it seems, to Lebanon’s trash crisis, a potent symbol of the dysfunctional, sect-based politics that define this tiny country — just half the size of Vermont, the journalist and historian David Hirst has noted.

The Drapers Guild has announced that its in-house journalist and historian, Ondiep Schepemmer, after painstaking research, has calculated that the population of Lebanon is twice the population of Nevada, that the length of Lebanon’s coastline is the same as that of New Jersey’s, and that height of Lebanon’s tallest building exceeds the combined heights of the tallest buildings in Alaska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, West Virginia and Wyoming.
“I am only following in the footsteps of David Hirst,” said the modest Schepemmer. “Whatever I have achieved today, I owe to the inspiration of Hirst’s original brilliant and groundbreaking findings.”
