Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts officially call themselves "commonwealths," as in "The Commonwealth of Virginia." However, there is no legal distinction between a state that calls itself a "commonwealth" and a state that does not. All four of those "commonwealths" are states of the United States of America, just the same as the other 46 states.
