Diplomats from Pawnee's sister city Boraqua, Venezuela, come for a visit in Season 2 Episode 5, "Sister City". Their vice director of the parks department, Raul Alejandro Bastilla Pedro de Veloso de Maldonada, comes in strong, insulting Pawnee from the second he arrives. He starts by assuming Tom is a servant and, when told there is a welcome party, asking for a book he can look through to pick out which woman he wants.

He continues insulting Pawnee and America as Leslie tries to show him around to impress him. During a public meeting, when the locals are yelling and arguing as usual, Raul questions why they are not all sent to prison. His monologue on what they send people to prison for in his country is comedy gold! He later tries to pay off Leslie to get her to insult America and compliment Venezuela and Hugo Chavez on camera.
