Unfortunately PR doesnt have the economy to support themselves like other states. I bet VI could. Not sure about Guam. American Samoa.. probably couldnt either.
However- some of the recent areas to become independent of the US (like Vanuatu in the 90s)- the majority of their GDP is $$ from the US...
