Bolivarian Dictatorship of Venezuela

In 2000, when Chavez changed Venezuela's Constitution (among other things to allow for reelection and a longer, six-year term - as opposed to the single, 5-year period in the old one), he changed the country's name to The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (it used to be called simply the Republic of Venezuela).

Today, as democracy made its last gasps, we walk into a new phase in the country: The Bolivarian Dictatorship of Venezuela.

May the history of a free country, one of the richest and with most progress in South America, and the oldest democracy in that continent, rest in peace...
