It consists of the main island and 231 minor islands.[6] Altogether, the entire province has a land area of 5,686.03 km2 (2,195.39 sq mi).[2] The main island is 5,620 km2 (2,170 sq mi) in size,[6] slightly larger than the U.S. state of Delaware. It is the 104th-largest island in the world and Canada's 23rd-largest island. PEI is the only subnational jurisdiction of North America outside the Caribbean to have no mainland territory, and the only such jurisdiction to have no land boundary.[7]
Queen's Rangers The Queen's Rangers, also known as the Queen's American Rangers, and later Simcoe's Rangers, were a military unit that fought in the Seven Years' War and on the Loyalist side during the American Revolutionary War. A small number of Black Loyalists, who had served in the Black Brigade and Butler's Rangers, were later merged into the Queen's Rangers. After the war, they moved to Nova Scotia colony, British Canada, now Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, and disbanded, but were formed again in Upper Canada before disbanding again in 1802, a decade prior to the War of 1812. The Queen's Rangers also filled the role of partisan hunters.
