4:17 is wrong. A French citizen (or even an EU/EEA citizen) from mainland France don't require a passport to enter the overseas departments / regions and overseas collectivities of France.

A bit misleading when you showed a map of the current British Overseas Territories then discussed the British National (Overseas) passport.

As an actual Puerto Rican, I can say for sure that Puerto Rican culture is NOT the same as mainstream American culture. I mean, I admit that I’ve lived outside of Puerto Rico for most of my life, but my family life is very, very different from the typical one. Trust me, if someone blindfolded you and brought you to Puerto Rico, you’d think you were in another country, and not in an American territory.
