Here is the final version of Puerto Rico. I've had it up for download on Ultrapack and SAS sites since AAA went down. I just now discovered this new AAS site thanks to Poltava's link to a map on M4T. It's good to be back on a familiar site!

I noticed a small error on the map. There are two places with the name Roosevelt Roads. This can be easily fixed by opening the Text file in the map folder and deleting the last "Roosevelt Roads" on the list. Save the file and all is fixed.

Some interesting facts about Puerto Rico:
Puerto Rico became a territory of the United States upon the signing of the Treaty of Paris on December 10, 1898. Upon the outbreak of World War I, the U.S. Congress approved the Jones-Shafroth Act, which gave Puerto Ricans a limited citizenship. As a result, many Puerto Ricans, with the exception of women, became eligible for the military draft, however they were and still are not permitted to vote for the President of the United States who is also the Commander in Chief of the armed forces.
In World War I Puerto Ricans opened fire, in what is considered to be the first shot of that war on behalf of the United States, on an armed German supply ship trying to force its way out of San Juan Bay. As members of the "Porto Rico Regiment" they were sent to Panama to guard and defend the Panama Canal Zone. In New York, many Puerto Ricans of African descent joined the 396th Infantry Regiment which was mostly composed of African-Americans. As members of the 396th Infantry Regiment, also known as the "Harlem Hellfighters", they were not allowed to fight alongside their white counterparts; however, they were permitted to fight as members of a French unit in French uniforms and were awarded the French Croix de guerre. Before the United States entered World War II, Puerto Ricans were already fighting on European soil, not only in the Rif War, but also on both sides of the Spanish Civil War.
During World War II, Puerto Ricans served in every military branch of the United States. Puerto Ricans from the island, serving in the 65th Infantry Regiment, participated in combat in the European Theater — in Germany and Central Europe. Those who resided in the mainland of the United States were assigned to regular units of the military and served either in the European or Pacific theaters of the war. World War II was the first conflict in which women, other than nurses, were allowed to serve in the U.S. Armed Forces. This was also the first time that Puerto Ricans played important roles as commanders in the Armed Forces of the United States. Some Puerto Rican aviators served and fought for three different countries as members of the Royal Canadian Air Force, the British Royal Air Force and the United States Army Air Force.
During the Korean War Puerto Ricans distinguished themselves as part of the 65th Infantry Regiment receiving many awards and recognitions, including ten Distinguished Service Crosses, however some men were unjustly accused and involved in the largest court martial of said war. Puerto Ricans have continued to fight in every conflict in which the United States has been involved, among which are the Vietnam War, Operation El Dorado Canyon, Operation Desert Shield, Operation Restore Hope, Operation Desert Storm and in the military campaigns of Afghanistan and Iraq, in what the United States and its allies refer to as the War on Terrorism.
Some Puerto Ricans became notable commanders, some have been awarded the Medal of Honor, the highest military decoration in the United States or The Cruz Laureada de San Fernando (Laureate Cross of Saint Ferdinand), the highest military decoration awarded by the Spanish government. In World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War Puerto Ricans were the most decorated Hispanic soldiers and in some cases they were the first to die in combat.
