It is a spanish speaking country, Puerto Rico is not a state or a territory. It has a political treaty called Estado Libre Asociado since 1952 which the US government translates as Commonwealth. Puerto Rico has international representation and is considered a latin nation like any other.

No, Puerto Rico is what is called a protectorate--like Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. There has been a movement to make Puerto Rico a state, but the most recent election on that failed, as the non-state factions defeated the move.

Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the US. It has repeated refused to apply for statehood as its citizens don't want it yet.

It's a U.S. territroy. Meaning they arent' given the status of STATE yet, but at the same time, they have all the same rights as we do, such as the right to vote in elections. The U.S. owns Puerto Rico.

It is geographically, political status, and a few other things, but it is part of the same country.
