The Heroes of Olympus[]
The Blood of Olympus[]

Trivia[]
- Puerto Rico became a U.S. Territory following the Spanish-American War along with Guam and The Philippines.
- The flags of Puerto Rico and Cuba are almost identical with only the red and blue switched. The flag of Catalonia's pro-independence party (not the region's actual flag) is modeled after theirs.
- The Spanish Virgin Islands are today a part of Puerto Rican territory.
- Although a commonwealth territory of the United States, Puerto Rico is not a state and Puerto Ricans living on the island cannot vote in national elections but can be drafted in American wars (and indeed have fought in all of them since WWI ) and have been American citizens since 1917 with the Jones-Shafroth Act.
