Where is Puerto Rico located? Puerto Rico is found near Mexico and also near the Carribean and south America and it is a very rich state and a very pour state it is also a very beuatiful country and celibrates many cultures found in Mexico and south America there is also a lot of famous artist there because most places have the most breathe taking views so just grab a piant brush and start painting what you feel and what your feelings are true to and your soul.

Flag, Motto, Anthem: Motto: Joannes Est Nomen Eius (John is his name) The national hymn reflects the character of the people very accurately. The air, "La Borinqueña ", recalls the island's Indian past. It was originally a dance measure. Now in a slower tone, and the orchestration of Ramón Collado, the Puerto Rican anthem has a gracious, melancholic tone, agreeably free of the bombast that often characterizes national anthem.

Sports: Sports that are popular in Puerto Rico are Baesball, Basketball, Bowling, Cock Fighting, surfing and swimming.

History: The U.S. House of Representatives, and the Jones Act of 1917, established all Puerto Ricans are born citizens of the United States with the identical citizenship of any US Citizen. You do not need a passport to visit Puerto Rico from anywhere in the 50 states. Residency of Puerto Rico, however, is a little different than amongst the 50 states.. No residents of Puerto Rico pay federal income tax ( unless you are a Federal Employee or derive income from the US mainland some people pay both federal and local tax but are not taxed twice on any income) nor vote in presidential elections, but pay most other federal taxes, including Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc., and many commerce-related taxes like the alcohol tariffs. When any resident of Puerto Rico moves and changes residency to one of the 50 states, then they must commence paying federal income tax and can vote in presidential elections..

Famous People / Role Models: A famous person from Puerto Rico is Chita Rivera she is an actress and she won two Tony awards.

What do you or your peers like the most about Puerto Rico? I like their beautiful beaches. I also like the sexy boys that come from there.
