The capital of Lehavim is Habafar, which concentrates most political and economical decisions.
The territory of Lehavim contains evidence of human transit and civilisations that date back to several thousands years ago. Its coastal towns have served throughout the history as important commercial ports in the _ Sea while the inland has been renowned for being rich in the production of olives, cheeses and vegetables. Archaeological sites from these periods have provided information about the importance given to farming, fishing and commerce by early maritime societies laced in the Lehavimi lands. Its strategic position made it heavily prone to suffer occupations from nearby powers that brought together with them, several cultural characteristics still visible in today's Lehavim. Although Jews have always formed the majority of the populaton and have been present for years in Lehavim, these periods of almost continuous occupations have left Christian and Muslim communities and cultural forms, which over the years, have created the Lehavimi national identity.
Lehavim was finally conquered by the _ Empire, an occupation under which it remained for over 500 years until the _ War. After the international conflict and the dismemberment of the _ Empire, the strategic position of Lehavim was positioned under _ influence and a mandate was created in order to assert !European political and economical interests in the region. The mandate lasted five years, in which _ was responsible for the defence and administration of the territory. The creation of the Lehavimi state was made possible, though, in 1954, when the first constitution was signed and independence granted. These first years of Lehavim were marked by relative stability and the first signs of economic prosperity, however, as the Jewish community started to take over most places in the high sphere of the government, problems arose with other minorities present in the territory; a coup d'état and subsequent instauration of a civic-military regime happened in 1961. Under the leadership of Abarron Hyamson and the armed forces, the de facto government created a confessional state with far-right characteristics, repressing political opponents and dissidents and using torture on a wide scale. In 1971, after Hyamson's death, the government was taken over by the military junta until the referendum of 1975, in which the military sought to renew its support but failed. A gradual democratisation was initiated with Josef Shmerkin, who inaugurated a new constitution and the Zeiman Pact between the largest political forces to consolidate the Lehavimi democracy. Since then, the country's political world has been dominated by the centre-left Progressives and the centre-right People's Party, which have alternated in power over the years.
Lehavim is today a unitary parliamentary constitutional republic, it counts with a unicameral legislature, the Knesset, and the country is led by the President and the Premier, who act as head of state and head of government respectively. It counts with a developed and advanced high-income economy, and a high quality of life; Lehavim ranks high in most educative, development and security indexes in the regional context.
