National Blueprint · One of 195

Dominica

An island of 66,000 people in the eastern Caribbean, with forest across three quarters of the land, where the World Bank finances geothermal power and protection from disasters.

Perfect Nations values what Dominica owns and raises capital against it, through innovative financing for development (FfD) and super intelligence (SI).

01Assets · The cup · Sovereign Assets

Five assets no balance sheet counts.

Each is owned today, earns today, and can carry Dominica toward seven basic standards of living for every citizen.

  • 76.4%Of the land under forest, 2024

    The Forest

    Standing forest that stores carbon and water, and can earn as it stands.

  • 75.1%Of export earnings from visitors, 2018

    The Visitors

    Visitors already pay for the coast and the culture; their spending can finance what lasts.

  • 5.5%Of GDP sent home by citizens abroad, 2025

    The Diaspora

    Citizens abroad send home a steady share of the economy: a flow that can back long-term finance.

  • 33.3%Of the land in agriculture, 2023

    The Farmland

    Land that can feed the nation and earn abroad, valued and financed against its harvest.

  • 65,871Citizens, 2025

    The People

    17.6% are under fifteen: the workforce and the market of the next generation.

Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Dominica. Figures marked dated rest on surveys more than five years old; lenient measures are marked as such. The strict measures

Strict measures. Food: share not moderately or severely food insecure (FAO). Water: safely managed drinking water where measured; where it is not, basic water, marked as such. Shelter: the lower of safely managed sanitation and the share outside urban slums. Energy: the lower of electricity per person against 1,000 kWh and clean cooking; where electricity per person is not published, clean cooking. Education: the lower of children reading by the end of primary school and lower-secondary completion. Health: WHO service coverage index. Livelihood: share above the stricter of the national poverty line and the World Bank line for the nation’s income group (US$8.30 a day for high-income nations). Each figure links to its source.

    • 02The dealAt work in Dominica: Emergency Agricultural Livelihoods and Climate Resilience, second additional financing, $8M. Source
    • 03What Perfect Nations advisesNations where food is furthest from reach should buy drought insurance that releases funds on measured rainfall, with the trigger and the price of the cover set district by district before the season begins. With super intelligence, rainfall and harvests can be read field by field, so that funds reach families within weeks of a failed season, before hunger does.

Perfect Nations® · Letters to the NationsDominica

Dear Dominica,

Your island is three quarters forest, visitors earned three quarters of your export income in 2018, and the World Bank is helping you tap the heat beneath your mountains.

Read more

Almost every home has drinking water and power. Yet 34.4% of you are moderately or severely food insecure. Let the third of your land that is farmed feed every family on the island.

“Let the farmed third of the island feed every family.”
