COMMENTARY     

confused.
22nd April 2009 		I do not think this information is accurate. The Commonwealth of Dominica....a small island state in the Eastern Caribbean must not be confused with the Dominican Republic- the spanish speaking "section" of the island of Hispanola in the northern Caribbean.
The size and population of Dominica is very tiny compared to the other countries you have listed and therefore cannot be compared to them in such scientific studies.

I believe there is a mix up in the names. The flag of Dominica is there but Dominica does not have heavy industries and there is more forest area to people.

I think you need to review and edit this information.
