Hey Senior Blade,
That is true, as to current events. However, these sailing grounds have around 6-7 centuries of sailing adventures,..so, we do as the waves rule, si?
There are the islands know as the Virgin Islands. Coined by Columbus on his 1st journey ( yep, the chap who proved the Earth was, indeed, not flat).
As time went on, and Europe presented it self, these same Virgin Islands are now to be made up of;
the Spanish Virgin Islands,
the British Virgin Islands and
the United States Virgin Islands.
As a side note, yes, PR is as American as Chicago, but only after the Spanish-American War, where the US won, and Spain lost.
So, the answer is Yes, No, and kinda-yes;
Yes , PR is American..
No, the people are desendants of the lands on the other side of the Ocean
Kinda-yes, when you come down and are full throttle on the start line and a PR team (on your hip) is yelling at you in Espanol, you will definately know you are not in Kansas
So, you gonna pack pack up that rocketship and come play or what? You problay could sell about 10 of them if you want to take orders...

regards and come
