The Forgotten Territory

Puerto Rico is often forgotten as being a part of the United States. It is not a state, but it is a U.S. territory. It is self-governed, but the President of the United States is the chief of states. The head of government is an elected governer. Like the United States, their legislative chamber includes the House of Representives and the Senate. Both Spanish and English are the official languages.

Facts:

Capital- San Juan

Population- About 4 million people

Catholicism is the most practiced religion.

Major Political Parties- Popular Democratic Party, New Progressive Party, and Puerto Rican Independence Party

Primary Ethnicity- Hispanic
