The real question is how will this affect the Lebanon primary?

Not nearly as much as Voter IED laws affect the primary next door in Afghanistan. (Yes, I know Afghanistan doesn't border Lebanon.  That's part of the joke, tho the pun on Voter ID is intended to be the real blast.)

While there are no Soloman Islands, that map does have the Soloman Islands.  No Niue, but then it's relationship with New Zealand is more analogous to that of the Northern Marianas with the US than to that of Palau with the US despite the fact that both Palau and Niue are said to be in free association with their respective partners.

Oh I missed the Soloman Islands. But anyways Palau and Nieu are members of some UN committees, and they're not disputed in any way, so it makes sense to consider them sovereign nations. Their situation is similiar to Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, and Palau, which are in free association with the US, although they are regular UN members.

"Free association" is like "commonwealth" a practically meaningless phrase.  The people of Palau are citizens of Palau legally.  The people of Niue are New Zealand citizens, just as the people of the Northern Marianas are US citizens, which is why I said Niue is more like the Northern Marianas than Palau politically.
