The U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) are neither north or south of the British Virgin Islands (BVI). They are west of the BVI. There is overlap in terms of latitude, however, with most of the USVI island of St. John lying north of the BVI island of Norman Island.

The size of the U.S. Virgin Islands is 133.73 square miles. That equals 346.36 square kilometers.

It is the same as it is in the states. We are a US Territory and we use the USPS with the same rates for letter/postcard. Or Zone 7 for Priority Mail.

They surely do. I've just been denied a renewal of my Michigan drivers license (which I've had for 20 years) because of a citation issued in Pennsylvania 32 years ago. In researching information on how to resolve this issue, it looks like I'm in for a nightmare. Attorneys, a trip to PA and a whole lot of money to get it fixed.

The Islands were bought from Denmark in 1917. They had been a profitable colony until the mid 19th century, but became a liability after the abolition of slavery and changing sailing routes in the region. Denmark was thus eager to sell and during WWI USA finally wanted to buy to eliminate the risk of Germany taken them over and using them as a submarine base. The price was $ 25 million, and the deal had to pass a public vote in Denmark. Since there was in fact a larger element of British (and Anglified Dutch) than Danish settlers, there was only few cultural ties between Denmark and the Islands, which made it easier to get a majority for the law.

It may be interesting to note that even though Denmark was late in freeing the slaves (decided in 1847 to take effect after 12 years, but implemented in 1848 due to a slave rebellion in the West Indies/Virgin Isl.), she was actually the first colonial power to ban the Slave trade from Africa. A law was passed in 1792 to have effect in 1802, i.e. before the famous Wilberforce had success with a similar law for the British Empire.

There are 62 Virgin Islands under the U.S. flag.

The proper name of the islands is Virgin Islands. The phrase "U.S. Virgin Islands" is a nickname used so that visitors understand that we are part of the United States of America and do not confuse us with the British Virgin Islands.

If you know you've never been raped or had sex you're a virgin.

Being a virgin means to have never had sex with anyone and that you wait until after you are married to have sex. Virginity represents purity.
