The Resume

    (1493- )
    Dependent territory of the UK
    Capital is Road Town
    Population is about that of a sell out crowd at a hockey or basketball arena
    Almost the size of Washington, DC
    Comprised of 36 islands in the Caribbean (16 of which are inhabited)
    Made up of Tortola (Land of turtle doves), Virgin Gorda (Fat Virgin), Anegada, Jost Van Dyke and thirty-two other islands
    British took the islands from the Dutch (1666)
    Part of the Leeward Islands (1872-1956)

Why British Virgin Islands might be annoying:

    Twenty of the thirty-six islands are uninhabited.
    The islands are volcanic and are primarily made of coral.
    They are in a hurricane and tropical storm zone.
    The majority of the water comes from wells.
    The soil does not yield much agriculture.
    The Queen Elizabeth bridge that links East End Beef Island Airport to the capital, Road Town is just a single lane.
    More than 300 ships have wrecked on the tiny island of Anegada.
    Jost Van Dyke was hideaway of the Dutch pirate of the name.

Why British Virgin Islands might not be annoying:

    The British Virgin Islands uses the American dollar as currency, rather than the British pound (since 1959).
    It has one of the richest economies in the Caribbean, relying highly on tourism.
    To make additional revenue, the country offers offshore incorporation, which a 1/4 million companies took advantage of.
    It is known primarily for its beaches.
    Many yachts dock in the B.V.I.
    The local pubs serve Pusser's Rum (a traditional British Navy drink since 1700) and a local fruity drink they call 'The Painkiller.'
    Virgin Gorda has a beach called 'The Baths,' which features hidden pools and secret passages.
