A blank map of Venezuela with four rings
Bolívar, in the south-east, is the largest state, ahead of Amazonas. The Capital District, La Guaira, Nueva Esparta and the Federal Dependencies are small, so each carries a ring.
La Guaira was called Vargas until 2019; the old name still counts as a right answer in the quiz.
Start with Zulia, around Lake Maracaibo in the north-west, and work east along the coast to Sucre.
