    Puerto Rico is a commonwealth, not a country.

    Every US state is an area of land with a government. Are they countries?

      Commonwealth is a form of government, not a definition of country. In fact, there are US commonwealth states, including Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. But at least you tried.

          I gotta admit, I only replied because I was curious how long they would keep it up. I don’t consider Rapid a troll or bad faith most of the time, so this is disappointing. They very clearly just don’t want to admit that they are straight up incorrect, regardless of whatever point they’re trying to make.

            Yeah, I figured it was hopeless after reading their other responses, but I wanted to see what kind of response stating very basic facts would get. A nonsensical statement with a snide comment at the end was the answer. Bizarre.
