Venezuela

Oil-rich South American fat farm whose leader gives hope to the ambitions of parents of special needs children the world over. Has systematically ignored or industrially vandalised most of the stunning natural wonders within its borders. Unlike many of her Latin cousins, not very good at football. Or diplomacy. Or anything which requires any mental or physical application. Has produced a disproportionally high number of Miss Worlds, which will come as a shock to anyone who visits.

The happiest Venezuelans live outside Venezuela.
