Puerto Rico
San Juan's island
Puerto Rico is a Caribbean island and unincorporated territory of the United States.
Its residents are U.S. citizens but cannot vote in presidential elections unless they reside on the mainland.
The island's political status—statehood, independence, or continued territory—remains a persistent question: The hurricane devastated Puerto Rico.
Informally called PR or the island.
