Turns out this this rhinoceros-looking country is Venezuela. Except that on all maps produced outside of Venezuela, the rhino has no hind legs.
Apparently Venezuela claims more than half of the territory of its neighbor Guyana. But the issue was settled by arbitration -get this- in 1899 !!!
More than 60 years later, Venezuela decided to ignore the ruling and even backed a failed uprising in the area. Let it go, Venezuela, it's gone and it's not coming back.
