The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (Spanish: Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico, IPA ), also Porto Rico (archaic) and more commonly Puerto Rico, is a United States territory with Commonwealth statusCIA - The World Factbook - Puerto Rico. located east of the Dominican Republic in the northeastern Caribbean. Puerto Rico, the smallest of the Greater Antilles, includes the main island of Puerto Rico and a number of smaller islands and keys, including Mona, Vieques, and Culebra.

The nature of Puerto Rico's political relationship with the United States is the subject of ongoing debate in the island. Those who support maintaining the status quo (i.e., Commonwealth status) insist that upon attaining this status, Puerto Rico entered into a voluntary association with the U.S. "in the nature of a compact", but opponents of Commonwealth disagree: according to them, Puerto Rico is an unincorporated organized territory of the United States, subject to the plenary powers of the United States Congress.
