==============================

Puerto Rico, the most easterly
island of the Greater Antilles
in the Caribbean, is a self-
governing commonwealth in
association with the United
States. The climate is
tropical, modified slightly by
the cooling sea breezes. The
main mountains on Puerto Rico
are the Cordillera Central.
Dairy farming is the most
important agricultural
activity. Tax relief and cheap
labour encourage American
businesses to be based in
Puerto Rico. Products include
textiles, clothing, electrical
and electronic goods, plastics
and chemicals. Tourism is
another developing industry.
