Population
There are around 10 million people living in the Dominican Republic and 3 million in the capital city of Santo Domingo. Using Dominican Republic virtual phone numbers will allow you to communicate with this country very easily.
The population of the Dominican Republic is very racially diverse; 73% of the population is racially mixed with white, black, and Asian ancestry. The populace is Spanish-speaking, but their variation of the language has been dubbed Dominican-Spanish because it borrows words from indigenous Caribbean languages. Learning both English and French is mandatory in schools, however, these students are rarely successful in becoming bilingual or trilingual because of the poor education. Overall, the Dominican Republic ranks 2nd in Latin America for English proficiency.
Government
The Dominican Republic is a democratic republic, which means that the people vote for a president and vice president on the same ticket for a 4-year term just as the United States does. They also have a congress, a senate and a Supreme Court of Justice. There are three major parties in the Dominican Republic and these are also very similar to the parties of the United States. There is the Social Christian Reformist Party which is also known as the conservative party, the Dominican Revolutionary Party which could be compared to an Independent in the US with a tendency towards liberal social ideals, and the Dominican Liberation Party which was seen as a “left-leaning” party, but has recently gravitated to a more centrist viewpoint.
Perhaps because of the similar party system in place, the Dominican Republic maintains a very friendly relationship with the United States, which makes it an ideal nation to do business with if you are considering expanding into the Caribbean. They also boast superb relations with Puerto Rico and several Central American countries such as El Salvador and Guatemala because of the Free Trade Agreement. Having Dominican Republic virtual phone numbers gives you an easy in without having to setup a physical office immediately.
The Dominican Republic does have a particularly uneasy relationship with the adjoining country of Haiti. This is due to the influx of illegal immigrants from Haiti that crossed over into the Dominican Republic after the catastrophic earthquake struck Haiti in 2010.
