Venezuela lies between two tropics, it varies from tropical humid to alpine depending on its elevation, topography, and the direction of prevailing winds. Venezuela, dued to where it's located, is mostly covered in forest. But resulting from deforestation and natural causes it has a varied vegetation, such as: savannahs, thorny shrubs and cactus, scrub and brush, and very little land of mangrove.
2) Explain the important resources of the area. Also any river systems, mountain systems, or plains that run through your country.
The Venezuelan economy is based primarily on the production and exploitation of petroleum. Venezuela’s topography can be divided into three broad elevational divisions: the lowland plains, mountains, and the interior forested uplands. The Orinoco river , as well, runs through Venezuela.
In Venezuela the drop of oil prices declined many jobs for the Venezuelans. The poor relied on the government to pay for basic food and transportation. Farming and cattle ranching are major sources of jobs in rural areas. People also work in factories, mining is important, and doctors lawyers are in demand. Venezuelans are really great writers, painters, poets, and musicians. Their favorite sport in Venezuela is soccer, and in the coastal areas water sports like swimming, fishing, and boating are really popular.4) What is the largest city?

7) Does your country face any problems - economy (think Bolivia) or environmental (Brazil) or other?
Venezuela has a number of problems today, here are a few: Venezuela's unemployment rate has continues to rise; it stands at 12.1 percent. Crime in Venezuela also has become a big issue there, in 2011 more than 19,000 people were killed, making 2011 the most violent year in the country's history. Housing and infrastructure is also a problem, homes are being being seized and privatized, housing is now one of their top concerns. Infrastructure has crumbled in Venezuela, reportedly Venezuela has the most obsolete air fleet in the Americas.
Corruption is another problem it afflicts the police and military, who are often bribed by drug traffickers. Corruption has also affected the government turning the government into a de facto dictatorship. Freedom of press is another problem, even though the press are guaranteed by Venezuela's constitution, in reality media face harassment if they report anything in opposition to Hugo Chavez's administration, Chavez died a year old from cancer. The ' eternal commander" is still putting on a shower, his voice of him singing are heard loud from the mausoleum entrance.
