Commonwealth of Dominica

The Commonwealth of Dominica is located on one of the Lesser Antilles. The island of the same name, which this small country occupies, is of volcanic origin. Like the entire archipelago of the Lesser Antilles, it appeared as a result of the collision of the Caribbean Plate with other tectonic formations in the area (with the North American and South American plates). From the east, Dominica is washed by the waters of the Atlantic, and from the west – the Caribbean.
The island has all the conditions for the development of agriculture: it is abundantly covered by rivers and streams, and the mountainous nature of the area gives them swiftness and power (up to 53% of the electricity comes from hydroelectric power stations). Numerous waterfalls form on the elevation.

VENEZUELA

Venezuela has: a) the old cities of the conquistadors, b) a couple of thousand kilometers of beaches, c) the absolutely unearthly beauty of the Andes, d) the great Orinoco River, e) the highest Angel Falls in the world. And this entire list is surrounded by magnificent flora, under whose shelter amazing animals live: ocelot, tapir and armadilla, not counting the anteater and anaconda darling (certainly also darling, but in a slightly different sense). By the way, not one or two Venezuelans won at different times world beauty contests (and continue to win). This is so, by the way.
