If I attempt to get a list of all cities in Puerto Rico via Wolfram Alpha using: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=cities%2C+Puerto+Rico Wolfram Alpha gives: "Using closest Wolfram|Alpha interpretation: cities harbor rich" and then "Computation timed out. Experimental feature: Try again with more time". When I attempt to get the larges cities in that island using: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=largest+cities%2C+Puerto+Rico Wolfram Alpha indeed gives the five largest cities. On the other hand; if I attempt to get the same info using Mathematica 8.0 via: CountryData["PuertoRico", "LargestCities"] // TableForm the name of the cities appear scrambled with the name "Puerto Rico" repeated all over. There are 78 "Municipalities" in Puerto Rico which are correctly listed here: http://www.statoids.com/upr.html http://flagspot.net/flags/pr(.html http://www.topuertorico.org/city/index.shtml If one tries: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=cities%2C+Puerto+Rico one would expect only the names of those 78 cities to show up.
