Since 1898, Puerto Rico is the territory of the United States (colony), in 1917 the Puerto Rican people acquired US citizenship through parliamentary law. However, the Puerto Ricans who live in Puerto Rico do not enjoy the full benefit of becoming a US citizen. For example, despite paying the same Medicare tax as the other 50 states, Puerto Rico's funds declined 38%. People living in Puerto Rico can not vote for the President of the United States (but they can vote for the president's primary election) and they have not voted in Congress.

Puerto Rico elections are managed by the Federal Election Commission and the Puerto Rican National Election Commission. While staying in Puerto Rico, Puerto Ricans can not vote for the US presidential election, but they can vote for the primary. Puerto Ricans who become resident of the United States can participate in the presidential election. Puerto Rico has consulates mainly from the 41 countries of the United States and Europe, most of them in San Juan. As the unincorporated region of the United States, Puerto Rico does not have the first level administrative district specified by the US government, but there are 78 municipalities in the second grade. Mona is not a municipality but part of Mayagues city.

Puerto Rico is an unincorporated area of ​​the Caribbean United States. The island is also called Puerto Rico by the Commonwealth and its capital is in San Juan. Puerto Rico citizens are official citizens of the United States, but Puerto Rico is a territory rather than a country. In other words, Puerto Rican citizens can not vote for the U.S. federal election and will not participate in Congress. According to historians and archaeologists, former inhabitants of Puerto Rico were known as orthoiroid people engaged in fishing and hunting. It is thought that these Ortoiroid people arrived at the island before 250 BC. In the eleventh century, Taino culture was the main culture of the island. People who practice this culture mean "Boriken" and mean "Kingdom of nobility". Christopher Columbus arrived at the coast in November, 1493. Puerto Rico became a Spanish colony in 1520
