1. Honduras is in North America.
2. Venezuela has been having troubles recently (it has been very slow to recover from the 2008 crisis) but it is not impoverished by any sense of the word. It has a human development index (HDI) of 0.764, ranking 67 in the world. It has a per capita GDP of $17000. In comparison, Honduras is 129th in the world in terms of HDI, and has a per capita GDP of around $5000. I'm not saying Venezuela is doing well (and its troubles are mostly due to corruption) but it's doing much better than Honduras.
