maps of dominica

The maps of Dominica point to the fact of its existence in the Caribbean. Dominica maps an area of around.754 square kilometer. The official language of the country is English. The capital city is Roseau which is also the largest city in the country.

Majority of the people here are Africans. It is a parliamentary republic. It got its independence from United Kingdom in 1978. The island was named by Christopher Columbus after the day he spotted it in Latin. The island is covered by rain forest and it is also home to the world’s second largest boiling lake.

The economy of the island is very poor and needs outside support to survive. Agricultural products dominate the Dominican economy. Banana is a chief item of export. Nearly one third of the labour force works in agriculture. This is one of the poor countries of the Caribbean.

The country has few beaches and therefore, tourism has developed very slowly here. The islands are mostly volcanic. For all those with travel maps of Dominica the capital city is a must then he can visit the northern city of Portsmouth, and the city of La Plaine. Its vast rain forests are something worth exploring.
