Puerto Rico is a self-governing, unincorporated territory of the United States. It is not a state, but is under the federal government. Puerto Ricans are also considered Americans and have the rights of American citizens.

We have been a US colony (territory) since 1898, we are not a country, we are an autonomous territory, we have our own constitution, but US law is the ultimate authority in PR.

According to US Supreme Court, no; not part of the USA.

We are many things, if you check the actual meaning of the words in an encyclopedia we are:
* a nation,
* a country (but not a free country).

We are also an organized (self governing) and un-incorpored territory of the USA. According to US Supreme Court we (as an un-incorpored territory) are not "part" of the USA, just a posession. Your hand is part of you, your watch belongs to you, but the watch is not part of you.

For all practical means we are a colony of the USA, more or less like the first 13 states were colonies of England before the Independence. Funny, USA a country who was formed when 13 colonies rejected to continue to be colonies is now one of the last countries of the world that have colonies. Pardon me, having "territories".

It's a U.S. territory, and I believe you can even travel there without a passport, but it isn't officially part of the U.S.


tonalc2
It's not a different country, it's a US territory. They are considered US citizens.
