Question: Along with the source of most oil in the US, one country recognized the government of the face most closely associated with Libya's new government early on. Where is the lowest place in this country?

Gaddafi remained the government's public face, with the identities of the other RCC members only being publicly revealed on 10 January 1970. Although theoretically a collegial body operating through consensus building, Gaddafi dominated the RCC, although some of the others attempted to constrain what they saw as his excesses. All young men from (typically rural) working and middle-class backgrounds, none had university degrees; in this way they were distinct from the wealthy, highly educated conservatives who previously governed the country. <SEP> After the 1969 coup, representatives of the Four Powers – France, the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union – were called to meet RCC representatives. Hoping to ingratiate themselves with Gaddafi, in 1970 the U.S. informed him of at least one planned counter-coup. Such attempts to form a working relationship with the RCC failed; Gaddafi was determined to reassert national sovereignty and expunge what he described as foreign colonial and imperialist influences. His administration insisted that the U.S. and U.K. remove their military bases from Libya, with Gaddafi proclaiming that "the armed forces which rose to express the people's revolution [will not] tolerate living in their shacks while the bases of imperialism exist in Libyan territory." The British left in March and the Americans in June 1970. The U.K. and U.S. quickly extended diplomatic recognition, hoping to secure the position of their military bases in Libya and fearing further instability. <SEP> Lowest point -- Holme Fen, Cambridgeshire, 3 m below sea level at 52 ° 29 ′ N 0 ° 13 ′ W ﻿ / ﻿ 52.483 ° N 0.217 ° W ﻿ / 52.483; - 0.217 <SEP> In May 2011, the country became a net exporter of refined petroleum products. In total energy consumption, the U.S. was between 86% and 91% self - sufficient in 2016. As of 2014, the United States was the world's third - largest producer of crude oil, after Saudi Arabia and Russia. and second largest exporter of refined products, after Russia. <SEP> the separation of powers is a model for the governance of a state. under this model, a state's government is divided into branches, each with separate and independent powers and areas of responsibility so that the powers of one branch are not in conflict with the powers associated with the other branches. the typical division is into three branches: a legislature, an executive, and a judiciary, which is the trias politica model. it can be contrasted with the fusion of powers in some parliamentary systems where the executive and legislative branches overlap. <SEP> idris' government was increasingly unpopular by the latter 1960s; it had exacerbated libya's traditional regional and tribal divisions by centralising the country's federal system in order to take advantage of the country's oil wealth, while corruption and entrenched systems of patronage were widespread throughout the oil industry. arab nationalism was increasingly popular, and protests flared up following egypt's 1967 defeat in the six-day war with israel; allied to the western powers, idris' administration was seen as pro-israeli. anti-western riots broke out in tripoli and benghazi, while libyan workers shut down oil terminals in solidarity with egypt. by 1969, the u.s. central intelligence agency was expecting segments of libya's armed forces to launch a coup. although claims have been made that they knew of gaddafi's free officers movement, they have since claimed ignorance, stating that they were monitoring abdul aziz shalhi's black boots revolutionary group.
