The Dominican Republic (
i/dəˌmɪnɨkən rɨˈpʌblɪk/; Spanish: República Dominicana [reˈpuβlika
ðominiˈkana]) is a nation on the island of Hispaniola, part of the Greater Antilles archipelago in the Caribbean region. The western
three-eighths of the island is occupied by the nation of Haiti,[9][10] making Hispaniola
one of two Caribbean islands, along with Saint Martin, that are shared by two countries.
Both by area and population, the Dominican Republic is the second largest
Caribbean nation (after Cuba), with 48,445
square kilometres (18,705 sq mi) and an estimated 10 million people, one million
of which live in the capital city, Santo Domingo.[3][11]More at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominican_Republic
