I don't even care about hongkong... whether it is country or its not it doesn't change my whole life tho
For the governance of Puerto Rico, read this. Explains it all. The US is sovereign over the territory.

Nothing is more boring than "news" about Apple.

Ching chong ching!, 25 Sep 2015Wait? what? that was exactly what my point was in the first place. LOLYes, but just because they are not a state doesn't imply they are a sovereign country. Their president is the US president and they elect a governor. So, by law, Puerto Ricans are US citizens, and use a US passport instead of a PR passport.
They can also serve in the US military like any other citizen.
Look it up when you get home, will become clear then :)

Puerto Rico is a State of the United States of America. Go home and read latest books, not those books that your great grandparents are keeping on the wooden chest.

The difference between them is that they cannot vote and do not contribute to the US revenue, and like I said, Puerto Ricans are automatically US citizens. It's a complicated case.
harlekkin, 25 Sep 2015Not quite, the US claims it as its own and they use the USD, the US also governs its economy. ... moreReally? Maybe my info is a bit old.Ill look it up once i get home.But is it really declaired to be a official US state? having 51 stars on the flag is kinda off balanced.
I do know that they have been using US dollar as their currency for a long time.

All political issues are governed by the US government. I tried to post a link before but it has been moderated. Look it up on Google.
Since 1917, Puerto Ricans are automatically US citizens.
Puerto Rico enjoys far lesser autonomy than HK :)
