Hello partners and developers.

Working in a scenario Colombia vs Venezuela that develops in the Gulf of Venezuela, I have detected the absence of the archipelago of Los Monjes.

Wikipedia:

"The Los Monjes islands, a federal dependency of Venezuela, are located to the northwest of the Gulf of Venezuela, 34.8 km off the coast of Guajira Peninsula, at the border between Colombia and the Venezuelan state of Zulia.[1][2]

The islands consist of rocks rising steeply out of the sea, without any beaches or natural landing. The Venezuelan Navy maintains a base on El Sur, where it constructed a pier. The islands have no natural resources and must be supplied from the mainland. Fishing is the main activity around the islands, usually by fishing boats making the short trip from the Paraguan� Peninsula in Venezuela.[3][4][5]

There are three islands or island groups, with a total area of 0.2 km�"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Monjes_Archipelago

Los Monjes are a strategic and vital geographic location in the border dispute over the marine and submarine waters of the Gulf of Venezuela and through more than a century has created at least three military and diplomatic tensions between Colombia and Venezuela.

For this reason, the inclusion of this item in the geographical data is necessary because for any scenario that includes Colombia-Venezuela (scenarios in which atualmente work) is essential to have these islets. In addition to works from Los Monjes sur an advanced naval station of the Navy of Venezuela.

Regards.

Los Monjes is primarily a Coast Guard base which is also used by the Navy. I read about plans to artificially expand the northern tip of the island (picture below) and build new facilities, including a radar station, on top of it. These plans were later cancelled.

Will add to our Norwegian Moses's terra-forming list. He doesn't part the waters all to often so this may take a bit.
