Acronym for the Dominican Institute of Civil Aviation. It is mockingly categorized as an OCAS (Office for Complicating Simple Matters). While its role is to regulate and grow the local aviation sector, it is criticized for being bloated, employing 2,000 people to regulate only 1,000, and for favoring foreign airlines over domestic ones. Historically, its directors have been political appointees (lawyers, dentists, etc.) rather than aviation experts, a result of the country's long-standing system of political patronage.
I intend to start a Dominican flagship airline for international wide-body flights, but the IDAC is making it impossible for me. Military pilots are taking jobs from those who paid for their own flight training because the IDAC grants civilian licenses to the military.
A person who mainly does seven things: dance, drink, have sex, play baseball, ask for handouts, cause trouble, and complain about the very problems they caused (a list of common stereotypes regarding people from the Dominican Republic).
The only problem with the Dominican Republic is that it is full of dominicanos.
A renowned educator and feminist from Santiago from the early 20th century. She co-founded and directed the magazine Aldia and, for five years, headed the magazine Diners and shaped the publication's identity (Santiago is the second-largest city in the Dominican Republic).
One of her most recent achievements was the book that compiled the 30 year history of the Simon Bolivar Journalism Awards.
Equipped with countless public and private schools, but without a single truly educational center.

I: Private schools with worse resources than public and semi-public schools. II: A gap measurable only in cosmological scales between elite private schools and the others (the mortals).
