reuters.com/world/americas/us-expresses-support-guyanas-sovereignty-amid-border-tensions-with-venezuela-2023-12-07/
Quick Glance: Venezuelans Approve Takeover of Oil-Rich Region in Guyana

- The area in question, the densely forested Essequibo region, comprises about two-thirds of Guyana’s national territory and is roughly the size of Florida.

- Although the vote’s result was widely expected within Venezuela, its practical implications are likely to be minimal, with the creation of a Venezuelan state within the Essequibo a remote possibility.
