Yes and no, it is one of the poorest, but that is because of the low GDP (Gross domestic product). However; the poorest country in the world is Haiti. The Dominican Republic is adjacent to the country of Haiti, the landmass as a whole is called Hispaniola, it is bordered by two bodies of water, the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Ocean. The landmass is a continental rock.
One of the main reasons Haiti is poor is due to the hurricanes and other natural disasters that has crushed the economic core of Haiti, the government used the money to try and rebuild all that was lost only to become in trillions of dollars in debt. The most recent catastrophic event (which happened about 2 days ago) was the earthquake that occurred in the capital city of Haiti, Port-Au-Prince causing millions of deaths, leaving many homeless, and jobs. It also killed many important ambassadors and important people involved in the government of Haiti!!!

Some of the most densely populated countries in the world are Monaco, Singapore, Bahrain, and Malta. These countries have high population densities due to their small geographic size and high population numbers. Additionally, city-states like Hong Kong and Macau also feature high population densities.
According to the Human Development Index, a development scale of 0-1, there are 35 countries and territories/dependencies with a development level of 0.9 or above, meaning "highly developed". The total population (as of 7/1/2008) of the countries in that category is 978,186,023 or 14.6% of world population (6,706,992,932). This means that 85.4% (5,727,771,964) of the world's population lives in developing countries.

Dominican Republic is the worlds best sugar producer (you need sugar cane to make sugar and theres alot their) but Hitler closed Denmarks ports so they can't get that.
I agree that most of the worlds governments are republics but for how many are democracies, I think only half of these countries are democracies. note: Sudan is a republic but it is mostly authoritarian. So was Egypt before the Arab Spring. Many African countries are republics but they are dominated by just one party.

It is impossible to tell who the poorest person in the world is, however a good estimate can be made as to where they would live. Kiribati is the country with the lowest GDP according to the International Monetary Fund and The World Bank making it arguably the poorest country, the poorest person in the world may live there. Burundi reportedly has the lowest GDP/Capita, suggesting that its people may be the poorest in the world. Equally, many people in developed countries live on the streets, making no money and having no savings. It seems likely that the title of "Worlds poorest person" would be a tie between tens of thousands of people across the world, all of whom have nothing.
