Dominican Republic

The same at the United States. There are times when we do not start school since we have... technical difficulties with our finances, but most of the time the idiots over here borrow and ask for money like they're pathetic, instead of earning it. We're not. >: But anyways, yes, we start at the same age as kids in the US do.

In the north is mainly agriculture and southeast is mostly tourist attractions. In the capital city Distrito Nacional there's as many works from Street Vendor to Surgeon it depends where you live and your monetary position and your school level.

The Dominican Republic is a republic, meaning that they have their own government that controls the country. Presidential elections take place every four years.

It is easy to say Spain as the answer, but the area we now know as Spain has multiple languages, 4 of which are "official" languages of Spain. The Castillian language developed from Latin over the space of some 1,000 years following the collapse of the western Roman empire, and the occupation of the Iberian peninsula by the Moors. The area of north central Spain Known as Castile and Aragon were the mian drivers of the dialect that spead across the planet
Spanish came from the country of Spain.

This question is a good example of why we should be interested in history. There are many factors involved. One reason is the availibility of types of food native to a specific region, such as what kinds of grains, vegetables and animal life are native to that region. Another reason has to do with the trading of goods both within that region and with other cultures. For example: Nations or regions within a nation that are located near an ocean or a sea would have had the ability to trade with other nations or national groups that had access to boats and ships or sea ports along a given coastline. Another reason involves the religious beliefs in a given region. A well-known example of this would take into consideration the religious beliefs involving the Hindu religion. It is because of the peoples' religious beliefs that they eat a vegetarian diet. Sometimes politics plays a role in establishing cultural customs and what kinds of foods people will eat. Suppose there is a conflict or war. One nation may have more ability to prevent the trade of a type of food going into the other nation. When a restriction like this continues for a long enough time period, the common people of the affected country will adapt and that adaptation may become an established way of life. Then, too, consider immigration. When people travel to other parts of the world, they take their beliefs and customs with them and their ways of cooking and eating to their new homeland. They will learn of the ways of the people in their new homeland and the people already in the new land will learn from them, thus blending the two cultures and cuisines. The traditions and beliefs are passed on from one generation to the next generation. This is by no means an all comprehensive answer to such a broad question. I couldn't think of a simpler way of explaining.

An independent republic is a republic that has its own laws, taxation, social systems, ect. In other words, it is a republic that has sovereignty over itself.

A good way to define a "republic" is "anything that's NOT a monarchy. There are several types of republics and, although they are very different, they are all similar by one factor: the lack of a monarch (or king, queen, ect.)

Types of Republics:

(All are independent so long that they are not governed by another state)

Dictatorship- A single person has absolute power but is not a monarch. (Most of the time they have militaristic or religious backgrounds)

Oligarchy- Similar to a dictatorship but instead of one ruler, there may be a group of rulers. If this group were militaristic in nature it would be a "junta" and if it were racial or any other type of minority it would be called a "apartheid."

Democracy- The citizens of the state have the power over the government. The U.S. is a representitive democracy since its leader are elected to represent the people. If is were a "true" or "pure" democracythe citizens themselves would vote on every issue that Congress does now. This would be nice but it is very impractical.

Side note: A "totalitarian system" is a government where all power is concentrated to the center. It can be either a republic or a monarchy, usually bound by a constitution, and most commonly seen in communist systems.

That's what I am trying to find out. I have researched over 5 websites but haven't found anything helpful. However, I am Dominican and so is my uncle so I just asked him if he knows of any nicknames for Dominican Republic and he said there was "Quisqueya"

As of April 30, 2012 the Dominican Republic requires that all Canadians must present a passport on arrival, no passport no entry. The Canadian Government Foreign Affairs and International Trade website spells this out quite clearly, check it out if you have any doubts.

As of 2010 Canadians require a passport to enter Mexico. Canadians also must have a passport to enter Commonwealth countries such as Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. In fact you won't even be permitted to board a flight to Australia, New Zealand or the UK without a valid passport.
