More about Venezuela
Venezuela [Spanish bene s ela], officially Spanish República Bolivariana de Venezuela, German Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, state in the north of South America with (2018) 28.9 million residents; The capital is Caracas.
Population
Slightly more than half of the population are of mixed race, mostly from the combination of whites and Indians. The roughly 3% blacks live mainly in the Caribbean coastal area. The proportion of whites (around 44%) has increased noticeably since 1945 due to immigration.
The indigenous population (a good 2%) lives mainly in the Orinoco Delta and in the south of the Guiana Mountains.
The south of the country is very sparsely populated: only 8% of the population live here on 58% of the country’s area. The average population density is 35 residents / km 2. The main settlement areas are the Caribbean mountains, the Mérida cordillera and its peripheral zones. 89% of the population (2015) live in urban settlements, 6.7% in the capital district alone. Large urban centers are also Maracaibo, Valencia, Barquisimeto and Ciudad Guayana. The strong rural exodus and the influx of often illegal immigrants from neighboring countries lead to great social differences in the cities. Since there are not enough jobs and living space, new poor areas (barrios) are constantly emerging on the outskirts of the cities.
Social: Over 30% of the population live below the poverty line. Health care is inadequate, especially in rural areas. Many children suffer from malnutrition.
In 1967 a social security system was introduced to cover the risks of illness, old age and accidents. The “Barrio Adentro” program launched by the government aims to improve medical care for the population, especially the poorest classes.

Religion
The constitution guarantees religious freedom (enshrined in law since 1834). The “Office for Religions” is responsible for relations between the state and religious communities. – Different data collections provide different results.
After that, no less than 80% belong to the population of the Catholic Church, approximately 10-17% (after-) Reformation religious communities (Baptists [about 0.2%], Pentecostals, Darbysten, Moravian Church, Presbyterian, Lutheran, etc.; a total of about. 180 denominations), about 0.1% Orthodox churches. The few Anglicans belong to the Anglican Diocese of Venezuela (seat: Caracas) as part of the Protestant Episcopal Church. – The Jehovah’s Witnesses (approx. 1.3%), Adventists(approx. 0.3%) and Mormons (0.2–0.5%) form separate religious communities with references to Christianity.
Non-Christian religious minorities are Muslims (a good 0.3%), Bahais, Buddhists and Jews. The Jewish community in Venezuela (today’s center of Caracas) was founded in the first half of the 19th century by Jews who immigrated from Curaçao.
European Spiritism (Kardecism) is also widespread. Traditional religions have survived among the indigenous population (less than 1%). An African American religion that originated in Venezuela is Maria Lionza. More than 5% (including atheists and agnostics) are without religious affiliation.
Climate
The climate is tropical and humid, cooler in the mountains with increasing altitude (Tierra). The north-west is dry (annual rainfall on the Paraguaná peninsula 250 mm). The summer rainy season brings high levels of rainfall, particularly on the mountain slopes (Mérida 1,750 mm) and in the Guayana mountains (over 3,000 mm). In the Llanos, the amount of precipitation increases from the east (Ciudad Bolívar 1 000 mm) to the west (Barinas 1 900 mm).
Vegetation
Over half of the state’s area is forested. Mangroves grow on the coasts, tropical rainforest stretches on the lower slopes of the Andes, in the Orinoco Delta and in parts of the mountainous country of Guyana. In the Llanos, gallery forests runthrough the vast grass savannahs, which are used by extensive livestock farming. Parts of the Caribbean coast and Isla Margarita are semi-deserts with cacti and thorn bushes.
Nature conservation: Around 53% of Venezuela’s land area is protected, including 43 national parks and 36 natural monuments.
