Pūerto Rico

Puerto Rico is a Caribbean island and unincorporated territory of the United States, meaning it is controlled by the U.S. but not a state. Its residents are U.S. citizens but do not vote in presidential elections and have a local government. Puerto Rico has a rich cultural heritage blending Spanish, African, and indigenous influences, known for its vibrant music, food, and festivals. Economically, it faces challenges like high debt and limited resources, but it also boasts beautiful beaches, rainforests, and historical sites that attract tourists. Overall, it’s a unique region with its own identity within the U.S. framework.
