Background on U.S. Virgin Islands
Charlotte Amalie, on the island of St. Thomas, is the capital of the U.S. Virgin Islands, and it carries the name of a Danish queen — the United States bought these islands from Denmark in 1917, paying twenty-five million dollars to keep a submarine base out of German hands during the First World War. The territory has no U.S. senators and is represented in the House by a nonvoting delegate, so answering that it has no voting representatives is correct. It elects its own governor. People born there are U.S. citizens by birth, and the territory casts no electoral votes for president. The capital is the answer here that stays the same; the rest depend on who currently holds office.
This background section is written by US Citizenship Test Practice. It is not part of the USCIS question list, and it names no senator, representative or governor itself: those names change with elections, so they appear only in the answers above, which are checked every night.
