Dominican Republic is a independent country and has gotten many Independence due its history:
- from Spain December 1, 1821

- from Haiti February 27, 1844 (not recognized by Haiti until 1867)
- from Spain (declared) August 16, 1863 (recognized on March 3, 1865)
- from the United States July 12, 1924.

Since that it's a independant country with is a representative democracy or democratic republic, with three branches of power: executive, legislative, and judicial.
The President of the Dominican Republic heads the executive branch and executes laws passed by the Congress, appoints the Cabinet, and is commander in chief of the armed forces.
The president appoints the governors of the 31 provinces. Mayors and municipal councils administer the 124 municipal districts and the National District (Santo Domingo). They are elected at the same time as congressional representatives.

Even though, it has a very big influence from the United States.
