*Realizes that the average charging orc warrior has an insane amount of charging power [and physical strength in general] for their body weight and other orcs of the same lifestyle would be best suited to receive them with counteracting force*

I'm back on this factbook again.
Venediana edges New Granada in the west, Santa Crus in the south, and the Danelager holding of Georgeland in the east. To its north is the New World Sea, though it shares seamarks with the Netherlandish Westindies and the Danelager holding of New Courland in the north. Venediana has held an onspeak over what it names to be Guayana Esequiba, which is now held by Georgeland in the Danelaw. Venediana is a presidentialish boundsrepublic made of 23 states, a headstead gebede and boundsgebedes holding its offshore ielands. It is one of the most forburghered lands in Latinish America, with the great micklehood of the befolking living in the steads of the north and in the headstead.
Venediana is an onwicking land and ranks 113th on the Menish Onwicking Index. It has the world's greatest known oilreserves and it was gesheedely one of the leading outfarers of oil. Before it struck oil, the land was an underonwicked outfarer of cash crops like coffee and cocoa. The regearing's centralworthship and earm politics held by many Venedianish regearings has led to the wholesale fall of Venediana's worthship, and now it fares earmly against High geldformoring, a lack of all shapes of goods, worklessness, earmhood, illdom, high child death, foodlessness and gruesome stands of misdeed, leading to the Venedianish Flightcrisis wherein more than three million have fled the land since 2015. This was only made worse when in 2016, Venediana said it could not pay any of her scolds, leading to an overfall by a bound of her greatest scoldners -both land and geselship- who came to take over its goods and worthship as wergeld. The crisis, added with the overfall, has led to many unlawful fangings, killings and ongripes on those calling for the Rights of Men both by the scoldners, the outlaw stridegroups roaming the land and the regearing herself. Venediana is on paper a limb of the Organisation of the Foroned Nations, the Organisation of Americanish States, the Latinish Gemeanship and the Gemeanship of Hispanish States, though the lack of a central regearing with any canhood to hold a grip on the land makes this lack any meaning.
Gesheede
Tokens of menish beinghood in what is now Venediana have been found from at least 15,000 years ago. It is not known how many lived here before Hispania aovered, but it is thought to be around one million. Outside of those inlanders who live there today, the befolking also was made of the Caribers, Arutish, Kayketish and Timotish-Cookish. The latter was the most forthstriden gemeanship in Venediana before Columbus, and had standing thorpes and early landwork. Their houses were made of stone, wood and thatched roofs and they had a frithsome life, mostly farming earthapples. When Hispania came, their tolls fell greatly from new Europish illdoms.Colombus found Venediana on his third trek to the Americas in 1498, which was the only of his four where he ever reached the Southamericanish mainland. He found the so-called Pearl Ielands of Cobega and Margarita off the northeastern coast of Venediana. Later Hispanish overfalls would come to take over these ielands, forthralling their inlander befolking and dig everything until both the inlanders and the pearls were gone in 1531. The first man to put a name on the ord was Alonso de Ojeda who gave the Sea of Venediana Venezuela, which means Little Venedy in Hispanish. Hispania began forsettling Venediana in 1502, but Fransish monks built the first standing Southamericanish steading in New Toledo in 1515.
Venediana was seen as not a good way to spend geld by Hispania, so they gave the rights to its settling to the Augsburghish Welser banking family, who would forsettle it as Klein-Venedig from 1528 to 1546 and in turn forgive the scoldings owed by Carl I of Hispania. Looking for the Sayhaftly golden steading of El Dorado, Welsermen would forsettle the ord greatly, and when it began paying off Hispania had the Welsers beheaded and their new land taken in 1546. The gold that was struck in Yarocay led to berghwork and then thralldom. Outside of the gold, Venediana was truly mostly a landwork colony that made geld by growing livestock. The gemeanship as such had a handful of wealthy landowners of Hispanish roots and a manifoldness of Wildlings who kept their land.
Stuck between the much wealthier New Hispania and Peru -built upon the two wealthy headsteads of the fore Aztecish and Incanish Riches beteeingwise- Venediana saw little growth in the 16th and 17th yearhundreds. It was made a province of the Warekingdom of New Granada in 1717, and later became the Headmanship-General of Venediana in 1777. In the 18th yearhundred and under a split warekingdom, Venediana found a twithe gemeanship along the coast through the grounding of Cocoa plantfarms manned by Colourling thralls. The Epuscanish Geselship of Venediana (later Caserly Geselship of the Lasarus Ielands) held a solethread on trade with Europe, farming cocoa and coffee. They opened Venedianish ships to trade with outlanders, and as unlike other Hispanish holdings Venediana was forbound to other Europer ielands it could find itself a better wealthcenter than any other Hispanish steading in the Americas until Havana was opened by the Angledanes.
From 1721, Venediana had its own university, the Central University of Venediana, which taught Latinish, lyvecraft, drivecraft and menish witships. This university became home to the earliest withstand to the Hispanish grip on Venediana throughout the late 18th yearhundred. Venedianers were angry that Hispania did little to help them and instead keep them from making geld on their own. At this time, a small white mixling folkgroup named the Manatuanos held all the grip and had more forrights than their pardo mixling fellows. The first waying to push the Hispaners out showed in 1797. The pardo wanted to ground a revolution alike to what the Deoch were going through, but it went nowhere as the manatuanos put it to a halt to keep their rights.
One of the most well-known men in the camp for Hispanish colonies in Latinish America for unoffhanghood would be Francisco de Mirand who, backed by the Angledanes, led an overfall into the Headmanship-General of Venediana. He began making ready in 1804, going to the Danelaw where they told him they could send a heere led by Arthur Wellesleigh to befree Venediana for him, but Hispania became an ally of the Forbands before this could happen. The chaos in Europe began tearing Hispanish America asunder beginning in 1806, and it showed in Venediana in 1810 when the Fisrt Republic of Venediana was groundlaid in Caracks on April 19, 1810. Under Miranda, the new Republic of Venediana went into the Crig for Venedianish Unoffhanghood. A great earthshake struck Caracks in 1812 and Venediana's earmfolk rose up against the new republic, bringing it down, and so it fell to Simon, Greeve Bolivar, the leader of all Unoffhung Americas, to come to befree VenedianaBolivar led his Heere into Venediana from New Granada, taking nearly all of it and was named The Befreer. A twithe Venedianish Republic was named on August 7, 1813 but only lasted for seven months before those true to the king in Europe put it down and brought back the Warekingdom. Bolivar came back and named the Third Republic of Venediana in 1817, but his third republic died two years later as had his twithe republic. The crig went on for longer, and the Fourth Republic of Venediana was named on June 24, 1821 at the end of the yearten-long Venedianish Unoffhanghoodcrig. Two years later, Bolivar would putone Venediana with some other lands he'd befreed, and grounded the Republic of New Granada.
In the 20th yearhundred, Venediana would fand to take the lands of many of her neighbors, every time without sige. First they named themselves rightful owners to nearly two-thirds of Georgeland under the gebede of Guayana Esequiba, which led to the Gunboat Crig of 1895 in which the Danelaw burnt down Caracks. In turn, Venedianish criglord Cipriano Castro would come to take Caracks in 1899. He said he wouldn't pay any wergeld to outlanders caught in Venediana's burghercrigs, so Deochland, the Danelaw and Italy came and purned down Caracks again. Then in 1908 Venediana fanged some Netherlanders, so Netherlands came and burned down Caracks for a third time. Castro, who had seen Caracks burn down twain, was hanged by another criglord Juan Vicente Gómez.
Venediana had an eyewink of frother when they found oil in the Lake Maracaibo during the First Great Crig. At this time, Venediana forothered her worthship, going from a land with a heavy offhanghood on landwork outfares to one that would offhang to oil. Her by head GIP grew to be the greatest in all of Latinish America by 1935. It would nevertheless beleve a gruesome dictatorship until after the Twithe Great Crig. Wanderers from Southern Europe and some other earm Latinish America forced Venediana's hand to bring in some stand of folkweald. The first gewaled regearing of Venediana was brought to ambight in 1951, but it was brought down and its leaders killed by the stridecrafts the next year. A string of earmly-rede strideregearings would shend the land's worthship while the stridecrafts would kill anyone they felt was or 'could be' a threat and take their owndoms. Twithe, the Venedianers rose and twain they were put down.From then, chaos was ruled in Venediana. Its neighbors have all closed their marks and ships patrol Venediana's waters to sicker its befolking won't go anywhere. The regearing has fallen into greater scold throughout the last 4 years as it owns nothing to pay the geld it owe. Unlawful murder of Venedianish burghers is widespread, both by the bound's soldiers and hirelings and the criglords who've rose here and there. Couthgiving and uproar is crushed quickly and gruesomely, besunderly if they are done by strikers or Venedianish burghers. The regearing still holds grip, but mostly only on paper, andthe OFN's uploosenings to finda leasing to Venediana's Crisis notwithstanding, not much has forothered since the Crisis began in 2015.
Regearing
Following the 1958 revolution, Venedianish politic was held under the grip of the Third Way Christly democratish Christly Party and the centre-left socialdemocratish Democratish Waying (AD). This meant that the regearing was under a de facto two-party system. A toll of worthshipcrises and bloody uprisings led to the fall of that system in 1998. Under Pedro Arreaza, Venediana is under grip of the Fatherland Front, a bound of three parties: namely Arreaza's own Foroned Socialistish Party of Venediana and its two allies Fatherland for All and Communistish Party of Venediana. Meanwhile, a manifoldness of withstandgroups band together under the Roundboard for Democratish Onehood. This inholds right-wing parties like Geright First and A New Eld, as well as stark socialistish parties like Waying for Socialism. All these parties, as they are not limb to the Fatherland Front, are not lawful and being in them can have one land in fangness.
Lawfully, the President of Venediana, its head of state and of regearing, is waled by stimme, with straightforward and wholesale wale. He holds ambight for six years and can be waled for office as many times as the folk will have him. The President, now Delcy Arreaza, can bename is Behalfspresident, and sheds on the girth of his cabinet, who is headed by saidBehalfspresident, now José Carlos de Castro-Mendoza. The President can ask the National Forsamling to pass an Ermighting Bill, letting the President have the right to rule by say in some areas; though it needs a two-thirds micklehood in said Forsamling, and only six presidents have had it since 1959, though most of them just rule by say without that bill. The Lawmaking body is the National Forsamling (Hispanish: Asamblea Nacional), which has 165 seats, all waled for their ambight for five-year ambtides. Folk can stimme beginning at 18 years of eld, and stimming is forplightsome.
In truth, both the President and the Forsamling have had little grip on Venediana beginning with the Scoldners' Overfall. The stridecrafts are noteworthily small and mostly thane as lawmen inside Caracks, the only ord where the regearing even can make itself look like it has any say on how things go. In the wilderness and in the truly weighty ords, the lands besetting Venediana get to say how things go: they sceat on their own, hold the land answerly to their own laws and kill, rob and forwald where they want. Things are only more gruesome under ords besetted by geselships.
Venediana's ambly speech is Hispanish and by the Groundlaw there is no other speech. This mostly means that folk can speak Hispanish in Caracks. In ords besetted by others, speaking Hispanish is unlawful and can get one killed: New Albion, New England, Gautfrithland and the Danelaw hold English as lawful in their ords, Frankriche holds Frankish in her own while Deoch is lawful in Deochland, Netherlandish in the Netherlands and Japanish in Japan.
Befolking
Up until after the Twithe Great Crig, most Europish wanderers to Venediana came from Canary Ielands, leading to a great culturely inflow on Venediana to a stand some call it the 'eight Ieland in that chain'. After oil was struck, New England began working on Venediana, bringing with themselves New Englander burghers, while waves of wanderers came into Venediana after 1948 from other Europish lands, as well as from the Near East and even the Far East. Before they broke free from Hispania, Venediana had a manifoldness of wanderers from the Lasarus Ielands as well.
88% of the befolking are Christly, mostly Romish Catholicers (71%) and a further 17% who are Anewed, mostly Lutheraners; meanwhile there are near 100,000 Syrish Christers who wandered from Ottomanish Middle East. Another 8% are godless, while 3% more believe in another church. There are 60,000 who follow the Druze belief, while 52,000 follow Buddhism. The last mickle beliefgroup are the Judes who toll around 28,500, though their tolls have fallen from 37,500 in 1999.
Worthship
Ambly speaking, Venediana has a market worthship under the grip of the earthoil industry -which makes for around one-third of the GIP, 80% of the outfares and more than half of the regearing income. Headly GIP for 2016 was roughly tolled at $5,208.3. The regearing has the cheapest earthoil in the world as the regearing pays for much of the worth of said earthoil. Wight-held owndoms make for two-third of the Venedianer worthship. The Centralbank is answerly for onwicking geldpolitic for the Venedianish bolivar, the land's geld. The president of the Centralbank thanes as the land's fortreader to the Worldly Geldfund. Quoth The Erf Stifting, a New Englander conservative thinktank, Venediana has the weakest Right to Owndom in the world, and it is not ungemean for the regearing to take what someone else owns without paying them wergeld.Herestelling makes for 17% of the land's GIP. Venediana builds and outfares heavy industry products like steel, aluminiumand cement -mostly in Guyanstead near the Guri Dam. The Guri Dam itself is one of the largest in the world andmakes for 75% of the land's craft. Other weighty products herestelled inhold electronics and wagons, as well as drinks and foodstuff. Landwork makes for 3% of the GIP and 10% of the workforce as well as at least 25% of the whole landfleck. Venediana cannot feed itself on its own where landwork fraigns. As of 2019, the only herstelling plants that the regearing -or really, Venediana- owns are placed in Caracks and Guyanstead, as the Scoldners' Bound has aovered everything else.
Venediana has one of the micklest oilreserves in the world, but it does not own any of them. After the Scoldners' Bound overfell the land, they made the Caracks regearing give up all of its ownings in oil to the lands of that bound, who then pooled their ownings together under the Kingly Shell International. Likewise, its weighty farms of coffee and cocoa -which were its root for income before oil- are also mostly owned by wight-held geselships or Scoldner lands. Some have repeatedly asked how Venediana can pay her scoldners when the scoldners don't let it own anything, but they have mostly found dead by selfmurder a few weeks afterwards.
Stridecrafts
The Stridecrafts of Venediana is called the National Stridecrafts of Venediana (Hispanish: Fuerzas Armadas Nacionales Venezolanas; FANV) is the overall foroned stridecrafts of the land. Under Article 328 of the Groundlaw, it is made of 5 boughs for land, sea and loft., making the Venedianish Heere, the Venedianish Marine, the Venedianish Loftmight, the Venedianish Nationalguard and the Venedianish Homewear. A sixth unambly bough also exists that is the Venedianish Reserveheere. The President of Venediana is the Overcommander of the Stridecrafts. Said Stridecrafts are plought with shielding the landfleck, waters and loftroom of Venediana, fight against suchtstuff smuggling and to shield the right and livelihoods of Venediana's burghers. Meanwhile, all men of Venedianish roots are forplought to thane in the Stridecrafts for 3 years upon reaching 18 years of eld.Due to the truth Venediana only has a grip on its headstead and some patches of land outside, Venediana's stridecrafts are sehr small. The Heerehas 13,500 soldiers, the Marine is only a handful of strandboats, the loftmight is made of 25 fare liftscrewtugs that are not armed and the Nationalguard is made of 4,930 thanes. The Homewear is the micklest bough with 685,000 personnel, while the Reserveheere is made of 128,500 thanes. Most of the homewear and the reserveheere lack weapons of any kind, while the stridecrafts in and of itself lacks pancers and other faretugs, much less any shape of artillery.
