The number of cantons is set herein at 4 for illustration purposes only. That number can and will vary based on the will of the populations. The various populations will express their will at the first constitutive municipal elections. At such time, municipalities will be allocated to cantons. The number of such cantons will be then determined. For instance, Orthodox municipalities might decide to erect their own canton. Same for Armenians or Alawites. Also, individuals who refuse to identify based on any historical narrative, could incept their own canton. This one will be located in the unique municipality located in the capital i.e. in the central part of Beirut.
