Dominica

According to ALLCITYCODES.COM, Dominica is divided into two area codes. The first, 767, covers most of the country including the capital city of Roseau and the surrounding areas. This area code is home to over 70 thousand people and it is the most populous area code in Dominica. The second area code is 758, which covers the remaining parts of Dominica as well as some small islands off its coast such as Carriacou and Petite Martinique. Area code 767 encompasses much of Dominica’s urban areas such as Portsmouth and Marigot, located near the border with Guadeloupe. This area code also includes parts of Grand Bay and Calibishie, two towns located in the northern region of Dominica near Martinique’s border. Area code 758 contains more rural areas such as Wesley and Castle Bruce, located in the eastern region of Dominica near Saint Lucia’s border. It also includes some small islands off Dominica’s coast such as Carriacou and Petite Martinique which are home to a few thousand people combined. Both area codes have their own unique characteristics that differentiate them from each other. For example, 767 has a higher population density due to its proximity to major cities in Dominica while 758 has a more rural feel due to its location in more remote parts of Dominica such as Wesley or Castle Bruce. Additionally, 758 also includes some small islands off Dominica’s coast which provide a unique contrast to the mainland with their rugged terrain and sparsely populated landscapes that overlook the ocean waters below them. Dominica is a parliamentary democracy and constitutional republic under the Commonwealth of Nations. The President of Dominica is the head of state and is elected by the Parliament for a five-year term. The Prime Minister, who is the head of government, is appointed by the President from among members of Parliament who have majority support in Parliament. The Parliament consists of two houses: the House of Assembly, which has 30 members and elects its Speaker, and the Senate, which has 11 appointed members. Political parties in Dominica include Dominica Labour Party (DLP), United Workers’ Party (UWP), Freedom Party (FP), Democratic Alliance (DA) and People’s Democratic Movement (PDM).
