An instrumentality of the Government of the Virgin Islands. No rights are stated anywhere: the document carries no copyright notice and the body publishes no terms of use. 17 U.S.C. § 105 does not reach territorial government, so nothing makes it public domain by operation of federal law — it publishes as a territorial public record, and we say plainly that the position is unstated rather than settled.
