Venezuela has a recorded area of 916,445 square kilometres. Among the 12 countries assigned to South America in this dataset, it ranks 6 by area, from largest to smallest. Bolivia is immediately above it in that ordering, at 1,098,581 km². Chile is immediately below it, at 756,102 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 28,516,896 people for Venezuela in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 31 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Spanish. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Venezuelan Bolívar (VES). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
