The Puerto Rico region
The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (Spanish: Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico), also Porto Rico (archaic) and more commonly Puerto Rico, is a United
States unincorporated territory with Commonwealth status located in the northeastern Caribbean, east of the Dominican Republic and west of the Virgin
Islands; about 1,000 miles off the south coast of Florida. The archipelago of Puerto Rico includes the main island of Puerto Rico, the smallest of the
Greater Antilles, and a number of smaller islands and keys, the largest of which are Mona, Vieques, and Culebra. Puerto Ricans sometimes refer to their
island as Borikén, or the Spanish variant Borínquen, a name for the island used by indigenous Taíno people.........
