Puerto Rico - Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico
El Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico es una isla en la parte oriental del Mar Caribe, colonia de Estados Unidos desde el año 1898 . En el 1952 se conformó el llamado "Estado Libre Asociado", a veces traducido como "commonwealth", pero que no debe ser confundido con la Mancomunidad, puesto que el E.L.A. es una fórmula de autonomía política interna limitada de naturaleza territorial, por lo que carece de soberanía. El archipiélago está formado por la isla de Puerto Rico (la menor de las Antillas Mayores) y varias islas, islotes y cayos, entre los que se encuentran las islas de Mona, Vieques y Culebra.
