This one isn't easy.All I have found is:

Christopher Columbus landed in La Isabela on 5th December 1492
Bartholomew Columbus founded Santo Domingo on 5th August 1498

There are only five superior land courts throughout the country: El Seibo, Santo Domingo, Santiago, Azua, and San Francisco de Macoris.

Any more?

Think that might be cheating lol. How many varieties of mango are there here? Beans? Avocados? Are there five types of bananas? Plantains, rulo, guineo, guineo media mata, is there another one?

We have a few trees of manzana bananas, tiny bananas with a vague apple taste. I’m sure there are lots of other kinds.

Ok, ok let's try this ......There are about 5 limes in 1 pound. We found that on average, one lime has 2 tablespoons of lime juice in it. One lime also has 2 teaspoons of lime zest in it. So if a recipe calls for the juice of 1 lime you can substitute 2 tablespoons of bottled juice.

I live in the Dominican Republic. My birthday is on November 5th. I believe that makes it a Dominican #5.

Hmmm. English Folk Verse (c.1870)
The Fifth of November

Remember, remember!
The fifth of November,
The Gunpowder treason and plot;
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!
Guy Fawkes and his companions
Did the scheme contrive,
To blow the King and Parliament
All up alive.
Threescore barrels, laid below,
To prove old England's overthrow.
But, by God's providence, him they catch,
With a dark lantern, lighting a match!
A stick and a stake
For King James's sake!
If you won't give me one,
I'll take two,
The better for me,
And the worse for you.
A rope, a rope, to hang the Pope,
A penn'orth of cheese to choke him,
A pint of beer to wash it down,
And a jolly good fire to burn him.
Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! make the bells ring!
Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King!
Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray!
