The **Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela** was country in the northern coast of South America.

The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela was established after the entrance of Hugo Chávez to power in 1999, who served as president of the country until his death in 2013, when he was succeeded by Nicolás Maduro. After rising as a world power with the presidency of Nicolás Maduro Jr., his fall lead to his resignation and the revived independence hero Simón Bolívar took power of the country. He served as President until 2155, when the country alongside other Latin American countries united to create URSAL.

Venezuela was widely seen as a highly developed country with a wide array of technological advancements. It was a major country in the Human Earthist Front and proved to be instrumental in conflicts such as World War III and the Cambodian Crisis. Venezuela's rise credited to Bolivarianism gave birth to a new socialist movement in early 21st century Latin America, primarily influenced by Chávez's ideals. After Chávez's death in 2013, vice president Nicolás Maduro took power. Maduro's presidency was characterized by an economic rise, but he died due to a heart attack 20 years in. His son, Nicolás Maduro Jr., succeeded him. Maduro Jr. formed part of the founding members of the Avengers Initiative and became one of the main HEF leaders. He enjoyed economical and social stability and high approval rates until the start of World War III.

Following the Colombian-Venezuelan border clash of 2069, World War III started in South America. Venezuela contributed greatly to the downfall of the Xenomorphic Universal Front in South America and the eradication of Egoist anarchism in the the region. However, Venezuela's government received severe criticism after its decision to use an EDP (El Destruye Paises, *the country destroyer*) missile in Uruguay, resulting in the destruction of the entire country and several nearby regions and a tsunami which sunk nearly all of the western coast of South Africa (which had also been controlled by xenomorphs). This contributed to Maduro Jr.'s political fall, with his approval rates reaching an all time low. During the early 2090s, the HEF Revival Programs started, and historical leader Simón Bolívar was revived to lead the country.

Just a few months after his entrance to power, Bolívar helped the Human Earthist Front win World War IV and later participated in the Spectrum raids. He became a member of the Avengers Initiative after Maduro Jr.'s death in the Cambodian Crisis and oversaw the biggest economical rise in Venezuela's history. Bolívar helped to overthrow Sendero Luminoso's reign in Peru and the defeat of Frente Patriótico Manuel Rodríguez. He started to negotiate with other Latin American leaders in the 2140s about creating URSAL, a trans-continental socialist union which would encompass all of South America and Central America. These negotiations finally ended in 2154, and the union was created in 2155.

Venezuela, at its time, was one of the most influential countries in the world and one of the most developed ones. Its cultural and political influence was felt through out all of Latin America in form of the Bolivarian movement and through almost all of its existence, it served a role as one of the major countries of the Human Earthist Front. Its technological breakdowns were crucial to the scientific community and it also created military technology that helped the HEF greatly in conflicts such as World War III. The country also helped to combat the Proletariat Awakening and the remains of Spectrum following World War IV. However, the country faced criticism for its inhumane experiments (such as the Simpsons Experiment and El Gallo Amarillo) its decision to use El Destruye Paises on Uruguay, and the authoritarian nature of its government.
