If Distrito Nacional were a country would you consider it a developed country?

Question

I mean only the Distrito Nacional without counting Santo Domingo Este, Oeste, Norte and the rest of Santo Domingo province. I haven't been in DR since 97 so I don't know how much things have changed, but I look up Dominican news online and pics. I see that the D.N. is more modern now with a skyline that makes it look like any big developed city in the world. So if the DN were a country would it be considered a developed country?

Answer 1

To a certain extent yes, it would be considered developed, however it will not be considered a first world nation as the USA or Canada.  It still would be in between first and third world nation status.

Answer 2

Yes, more or less. But if you will visit it you will see that some things are great and some things are Dominican....
