Great Britain team doesn't include 3 of their overseas possession. And if you live in North Ireland, you can compete for either Great Britain or Ireland.

I saw Hong Kong and American Samoa too. What's up with that?

The US went to war with Spain. Puerto Rico was just treated like a spoil of war. Welp, now we get to enjoy our spoils and all the costs that come with it. The post I originally responded to makes it sound like Puerto Rico is just there for a handout. Well, you decide to occupy a territory, it cost you.
