Detailed Country Guide
Overview and identity
Puerto Rico, officially listed here as Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, is structured as a practical country reference guide for users searching country facts, maps, flags, codes, and daily-use data. The page should make Puerto Rico, PR, PRI, the flag, the official name, and the country slug easy to confirm because users often land on country pages while checking identifiers for forms, travel, education, or data products. Puerto Rico is grouped under Americas, more specifically Caribbean, with North America shown as the continent context.
Geography and population scale
The country dataset records a population of 3,194,034 people and a land area of 8,870 square kilometers, which gives an approximate density of 360 people per square kilometer. The main coordinate reference is 18.25, -66.5, while the capital coordinate reference is 18.47, -66.12. Puerto Rico has no land borders listed in the country data, and the landlocked value is recorded as no. These details help the page answer common searches around location, area, borders, map position, and population comparison.
Capital and urban network
The capital information is recorded as San Juan (primary). The largest city entries shown for this country are San Juan, Aguadilla, Bayamón, Carolina and Arecibo. Including cities alongside country-level facts helps the guide answer searches such as largest cities in Puerto Rico, capital of Puerto Rico, and major urban areas in Puerto Rico. This is useful because many users compare the official capital with the largest business, transport, or population centers.

The government type is listed as Devolved presidential constitutional dependency. The classification fields mark sovereignty as no, United Nations membership as no, observer status as no, and disputed status as no. International memberships shown for this page include no major listed organizations in this sample. These fields support search intent around political status, country classification, and international organization membership.
Administrative formats and daily-use data
Puerto Rico uses calling code +1, postal format #####-####, and time zone data listed as UTC-04:00. The number format uses , as the thousands separator and . as the decimal separator. The week starts on monday; the academic year starts around Sep 1; the government fiscal year starts around Jan 1; and the personal fiscal year starts around Jan 1.
Currency, language, transport, and references
Currency data lists USD - United States dollar ($), while language records include English and Spanish. Vehicle data records the driving side as right and vehicle sign codes as USA. Reference links should keep official, Wikipedia, Google Maps, and OpenStreetMap sources together when available so users can move from the structured country guide to map or source pages quickly. The country dataset does not include a recent Gini entry for this profile.
How to use this profile
This Puerto Rico profile is designed to be scanned in layers: first the name, official name, flag, capital, population, area, and density; then identity, geography, cities, governance, memberships, formats, connectivity, currency, languages, transport, and references. That structure supports both human readers and product workflows where users need to verify a phone code, compare cities, inspect fiscal dates, check postal formats, review memberships, or open a map reference without searching across multiple pages.
