OK, cool. If you were keeping a life list of the number of countries you had visited, do you think it is cheating to count Puerto Rico as a separate country then? I just have them as part of the U.S. so have not been counting them.
There is a hobby some people have of trying to visit 100 countries, and that's where the question might arise.
