VE — Venezuela

Venezuela is a South American country on the Caribbean coast, known for having the world's largest proven oil reserves, Angel Falls (the world's highest waterfall), and extraordinary biodiversity. Caracas, the capital, is surrounded by the Ávila mountain range. Venezuela has experienced severe economic crisis and hyperinflation since the mid-2010s. The Venezuelan Bolívar has been redenominated multiple times — from VEB to VEF to VES — with the current Bolívar Soberano (VES) introduced in 2018 after removing five zeros. For developers, the VE country code maps to the es-VE locale for Venezuelan Spanish. The .ve domain and +58 calling code serve Venezuela. Venezuela's currency history is a challenging edge case for financial software — the multiple redenominations (VEB → VEF → VES), extreme hyperinflation, and parallel exchange rates create enormous complexity. The large Venezuelan diaspora (over 7 million emigrants) makes Venezuelan locale support important in countries like Colombia, Peru, Chile, and the US.
