Thank you! Well it's kind of a comical expression we have in our country. Nothing works and we have nothing, but the government insists we're OK. One of the favourite words for them is 'patria' which means something like 'homeland', but now the meaning has been so dirtied we use it to symbolize the irony.
It's a little deeper than that, but essentially it's a pun against the actual Venezuelan government. I hope that made sense hahaha
Ah-ha. Reading it now with the idea of an ironic twist on the notion of homeland, it has come more into focus. I know some people from Venezuela. A beautiful country, but with many challenges.
