Virgin Islands

This entry is not a country.

The Virgin Islands are the eastern island group of the Leeward Islands, which are the northern part of the Lesser Antilles, which form the border between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Politically, the north-eastern islands form the British Virgin Islands and the south-western ones the United States Virgin Islands.

(Technically the official name of the British Virgin Islands is simply the "Virgin Islands" and the official name of the United States Virgin Islands is the "Virgin Islands of the United States", but in practice since 1917 both territories have been almost universally referred to as the "British Virgin Islands" and the "United States Virgin Islands" to distinguish the islands from each other.)
