Dominica

Dominica's population is predominantly of African descent, and it is notable as home to the Kalinago (Carib), the last surviving Indigenous community in the eastern Caribbean. English is official, with a French-based Creole widely spoken.

Christianity, predominantly Roman Catholic, is the dominant faith.

Society

Dominica has moderate literacy and a small, rural population, with development repeatedly set back by powerful hurricanes that the island is working to build resilience against.
