	Puerto Rico is not a country.

	Here I thought I was clever for avoiding the "Puerto Rico" mine. It shouldn't be a correct answer.

Comment below threshold: show it

	Why don't you just tell your students that the textbook is wrong? Otherwise they're going to grow up thinking Puerto Rico is an independent nation.

	Belize was colonized and owned by Great Britain

	I do, however, the song that they learn and have memorized has it in there. This quiz has thrown them off without it, so to not confuse my students more, I´ve included it. Please keep that in mind with any ratings

	If your textbook says Puerto Rico is a country, I would let the publishers know they have made an error and that they should correct it.

	Puerto Rico is not a country in the Sporcle sense, but it is by some definitions. I have explained this to my students.

	Take out Puerto Rico. It is not an independent nation. I could care less what a textbook says, i have seen many textbooks that were wrong, so take it out.

	Are the textbooks that say Puerto Rico is a country also the ones that show cavemen living in harmony with dinosaurs?

	Please note that 1) I address the fact of PR not being a sovereign country in the info about the game, if you do not read it, I´m sorry, but it is explained. I am doing this so that my students do understand that PR is Spanish speaking and that they have a unique status. In many definitions of the word country PR fits. Not by the sporcle definition, nor the definition that I use, however it is an age-appropriate usage of the word. Again, these quizzes are designed for my students. My students are young and not all are ready for the talk about PR status and other complex political discussions like why Western Sahara is Spanish speaking but recognized as part of Morocco. Sorry.
