u.s. virgin islands
The U.S. Virgin Islands consists of three major islands - St. Croix, St. John and St. Thomas. However, there are 50 islands in all, some merely rocks or islets jutting out on the shimmering turquoise waters. St. Croix, the largest of the islands - 28 miles long and seven miles at its widest point - lies entirely in the Caribbean Sea. St. John and St. Thomas, 35 miles east of St. Croix, lie between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.

The United States Virgin Islands is an official American territory governed by U.S. laws, The USVI has one non-voting delegate to the United States House of Representatives. All persons born on the islands are citizens of the United States. The currency is the U.S. dollar and mail is delivered via U.S. mail services with the same postage rates. English is the native language spoken by Virgin Islands residents, enhanced with a charming lilt called "calypso."
