My comment:

FYI; Commonwealth of Puerto Rico translates into Estado Libre Asociado hence "estadolibristas" . This is quite unlike the Commonwealth of Virginia for example which is simply translated as "estado".

You are absolutely right Clara. This is exactly the options we have in French Polynesia, and as a matter of fact, Porto Rico may become totally independant or a full US state or else remain in its current status of associated state a little like American Samoa.

There is a very slight difference between American Samoa and Puerto Rico: whereas American Samoa are an unincorporated and unorganized American territory administered by the Office of Insular Affairs, Puerto Rico is an unincorporated but organized territory with Commonwealth status.
