    • United States Territories: The Puerto Rican Independence Party (PIP) could be arguably considered a Social Democratic Party within the United States, since Puerto Rico's sovereignty is not yet recognized by the U.S. Government; nevertheless, the Puerto Rican Independence Party is a full-flegged member of the Socialist International (SI).
