Why Is Puerto Rico Not Considered A Nation-state?

The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Porta Rica and more commonly Puerto Rico, is a United States unincorporated with a Commonwealth of 28% located in the northeastern Caribbean, east of the Dominican Republic, and west of the Virgin Islands. Puerto Rico includes the main island of Puerto Rico, the smallest of the Great Antiles, and a number of smaller islands and keys, the largest of which are Mona, Vieques, and Culebra.
Puerto Ricans sometimes refer to their island as Borikén, or in Spanish as Borínquen, a name for the island used by people, and from which comes the name used for puerto ricans: 'boricua'.
Puerto Rico's political relationship with the United States is the subject of ongoing debate in the island, in the United Nations. Those who support maintaining the Commonwealth status, insist that upon attaining this status, Puerto Rico entered into a voluntary association with the U.S.
