Interesting to see what collective wisdom has to say on this country:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominican_Republic#Economy
I have to say though, that this part is quite sobering:
------------
According to the 2005 Annual Report of the United Nations Subcommitee on Human Development in the Dominican Republic, the country is ranked #71 in the world for resource availability, #94 for human development, and #14 in the world for resource mismanagement. These statistics emphasize the national government corruption, the foreign economic interference in the country, and the rift between the rich and poor.
