About U.S. Virgin Islands

The U.S. Virgin Islands runs a real, distinct economy inside U.S. territory -- tourism as the largest employer, one of the world's largest rum distilleries (Cruzan, on St. Croix), and its own Economic Development Commission offering real tax incentives that a mainland audience almost never hears about. A U.S. economy operating under different rules than the fifty states.
