Forgotten World (245): U.S. Virgin Islands
The Virgin Islands are divided between Britain (the eastern 36) and the United States (the western 53 of which only three are inhabited). The US Virgin Islands with a population (a total of only 113,000) are St Thomas, St John and St Croix.
Motor vehicles are driven on the left-hand side of the road in both the British and the U.S. Virgin Islands, although the steering wheels on most cars are located on the left side (as is the norm for drive-on-the-right localities). Also, the United States dollar is the official currency on both the British and U.S. Virgin Islands.
