No, I know quite a few Americans that have gone to Cuba with the US government knowing about it. But I think it may be different now since they enacted a new change in the last year or so...

Anyway, the thing is that a lot of places won't stamp your passport. So if you fly in from another country (other than the US) into Cuba, they may do you a favor and not stamp your US passport.

Most times, Cuban immigration will stamp the entry visa on a separate piece of paper that you turn in on exit, keeping your passport clean, if you enter from a third country such as Mexico or Canada. If you have legal authorization to visit Cuba (in very limited circumstances), I think the Department of State will probably make a note on your passport that the travel was authorized.

US-issued credit cards are not valid in Cuba, so you're pretty much restricted to hard currency, which Cuba loves for you to spend at their Diplotienda stores (which only allow payment in hard currency).

If traveling legally, you're limited to no more than $100 total value in Cuban-made goods. And forget about peeling off the labels from them Cuban cee-gars - U.S. Customs will assume they're Cuban in origin and seize them. And put your name in TECS (Treasury Enforcement Computer System) - guaranteed to get you roto-rootered every time you go through Customs at any port of entry!

(Just for the record, never been to CUUUUUUUUBAAAAA!, but growing up in La Habana en el exilio (read: Miami) comes close! :D)

I count Puerto Rico as a US protectorate. Which isn't to say it is not it's own country. It depends on your definition of the word "country" though, I would imagine.

Foreign Nation-States that I have visited:

United Kingom
United Netherlands
Federal Republic of Germany (Nordhein-Westfallen)
