A nation-less state is a state whose borders are arbitrary and with no historical context and with no real common bond among the people. Lebanon does not fit this paradigm. While there are numerous different groups of people in Lebanon, there is the historic Sanjak of Mount Lebanon, which set the prevailing, dominant Christian culture of the area. When the French expanded the Sanjak of Mount Lebanon to surrounding areas to the north, east, and south, a number of Sunni Muslim, Shiite Muslim, Alawite, and Druze groups were added to the state, making it more heterogeneous and leading to internal conflict. However, those conflicts have ended up creating a unified national identity, especially in resistance to the recent (1986-2006) Syrian Occupation of the country, and the creation of a Confessionalist Republican Structure.
By contrast, Iraq, which has no unity between its religiously and ethnically diverse groups is a nationaless state.
