Venezuela

Venezuela is a nation in South America that borders Colombia to its west, Guyana to its east, and Brazil to its south.

History
Venezuela has seen several changes in power in the past decades. Marcos Perez Jimenez is no exception who seized power through a coup d'etat in the 1940s. Venezuela is similar to other South American countries which stay out of the national spotlight and isolate themselves. Venezuela is also increasingly unstable with an oppressive government causing the population to become more restless by 1952.

Politics
Venezuela is currently ruled by the Independent Electoral Front also known the Frente Electoral Independiente. However, with high political instability and a growing restless population, Jimenez and the FEI are seemingly losing their grip on the nation. Even though most opposition parties disappeared under the regime of Jimenez, the ones that remain have been growing in support such as Wolfgang Larrazábal's socialist party Unión Republicana Democrática, Romulo Betancourt Bello's conservative party Independientes Pro-Frente Nacional, Rafael Caldera's social democrat party Acción Democrática, or Arturo Pietri's liberal party Comité de Organización Política Electoral Independiente.

Economics
The economy of Venezuela has grown substantially with high oil prices. The growth of Venezuela's economy has attracted immigrants despite the growing instability of the current regime.

Military
As mentioned before, Venezuela has been ruled by military dictatorships throughout much of its existence including some that have been through coup d'etats. The nations Armed Forces are modern but not very cohesive.
