They have stayed in this area all of their lives. This providence is approximately the size of California, about 462,840 sq km (US Department of State, 2010, October 8, Geography). The estimated population in 2008 was 6.5 million, with a growth rate of 2% between 2005 – 2010.

The development of a country can be measured in many different ways; infant mortality, life expectancy, birth and death rates and average number of people per doctor are all different measures. An LEDC stands for a “Less Economically Developed Country” and an MEDC stands for a “More Economically Developed Country”. Africa is made of only LEDCs (it can be argued that South Africa is an NIC) and Eastern Europe is mainly all MEDCs. Sudan is found in the East of Africa is clearly an LEDC. According to a stud carried out by “CIA – The World Fact book” its GDP per capita is just $2,200 compared to the UK which is $36,700.
Being an island, Puerto Rico is smaller than the size of Connecticut however much larger than Delaware or Rhode Island individually or, even if combined as one single state.
