Four U.S. states bear the formal title of Commonwealth: Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. In these cases, this is merely a name and has no legal effect. New York in the same manner is referred to as the Empire of New York, but again is merely a name and has no legal effect. Somewhat confusingly are the two U.S. territories — Puerto Rico and the Northern Marianas which are also referred to as commonwealths, and have a legal status different from the states.
