 | The Commonwealth of Dominica is a borderless country in the Caribbean, a parliamentary democracy within the Commonwealth. |
 | Unlike other former British colonies in the region, Dominica was never a Commonwealth realm with the British monarch as head of state, as it instead became a republic on independence. |
 | The President is head of state, while executive power rests with the Cabinet, headed by the Prime Minister. |

 | The president appoints as prime minister the leader of the majority party in the parliament and also appoints, on the prime minister's recommendation, members of the parliament from the ruling party as cabinet ministers. |
 | Dominica has a two-party system, which means that there are two dominant political parties, with extreme difficulty for anybody to achieve electoral success under the banner of any other party. |
 | Dominica was once a three-party system, but in the past few years the Dominica Labour Party and the greatly diminished Dominica Freedom Party have built a coalition. |
