100% of players answered correctly.

THE CORRECT ANSWER: The Fort-Libertins

The inhabitants of Fort-Liberté are called the Fort-Libertins. This city, capital of the North-East department, has one of the most beautiful bays in the country. Its current name, adopted after independence, symbolizes the freedom won, replacing the old colonial name of Fort-Dauphin.To be Fort-Libertin is to live in a city steeped in history where the remains of imposing forts remain, such as Fort Dauphin itself. The city is renowned for its calm and regular urban layout. The Fort-Libertins are proud of their maritime heritage and their role in monitoring the northern coasts. The proximity to the Dominican border also influences economic exchanges in the region. This name, although logical in its construction, retains an elegance which reflects the peaceful and dignified character of this population of the Far North, guardian of an essential part of our national sovereignty.
