Zip codes for Dominican Republic

A piece of island - the Dominican Republic

In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, in the Great Antilles archipelago there is the Dominican Republic, which, together with Haiti, shares the island of Hispaniola. Approximately two-thirds of the island is part of the eastern state. With 2.3 million inhabitants, Santo Domingo is the capital of the Dominican Republic, which is located on the southern coast of the country. Both in the western part of Haiti, and in the Dominican Republic itself, so many people live below the poverty line. However, economic sectors such as tourism play a central role and reduce the unemployment rate. Especially in rural areas compulsory education is a real challenge. Thanks to the dense history of the country's events, the official language is that of the last colonial power: Spanish.

Administrative division of the Dominican Republic

The country is divided into ten regions (regiones), which in turn are divided into 31 provinces (provincias). The Santo Domingo capital remains an exception to the Dominican Republic. The capital is located in the only national park (the so-called national district), which was founded in 1936. For administrative purposes the powers are divided into individual provinces, which are in the Dominican Republic: Azua, Baoruco, Barahona, Dajabón, Distrito National, Duarte, El Seibo, Elías Piña, Espaillat, Hato Mayor, Hermanas Mirabal, Independecia, La Altagracia, La Romana, La Vega, María Trinidad Sanchez, Monseñor Nouel, Monte Cristi, Monte Plata, Pedernales, , San Cristóbal, San José de Ochoa, San Juan, San Pedro de Macorís, Sànchez Ramírez, Santiago, Santiago Rodríguez, Santo Domingo and Valverde.
