Puerto Rico is a self governing unincorporated territory of the US which some people would call a colony and others call a Commonwealth. The island was given to the United States as war booty by Spain after their loss in the Spanish American War after a token paument in the Treaty of Paris. The smallest of the Greater Antilles, it is an archipelago located east of the Hispaniola (Dominican Republic/Haiti). Thus the island is nestled in the south by the Caribbean Sea and in the north by the Atlantic Ocean.
Presently Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory of the United States of America. That could change November 2012 when Puerto Ricians get to vote to either remain as same status, become the 51 state, or attain independent status.
The capital of Puerto Rico is San Juan and is located at the north east side of the island.
