Was the British Empire a good thing that enlarged the world creating possibilities for everyone or was it just a way for some to gain power and wealth? How is the modern-day Commonwealth different? The British Empire used to be one of the largest and wealthiest empires in the world. Its prosperity started at the early 1600s and reached its high peak at the end of the World War I. The Empire faded into the Commonwealth at the end of 1930s as one colony after another gained its independence. After studying the topic I would say that it cannot be said whether the British Empire was a very good or a very bad thing. Of course any kind of oppression should not be approved of and actually the Empire and native British forced on their way of life and culture to the colonies. On the other hand the Empire also helped its subjects to develop in a positive sense.

tribal chiefs. It is a form of government in which an individual has the actual or nominal supreme power, who is the head of state, often for life or until abdication. Since 1800, most of the world's monarchies have been abolished, and most of the nations that retain monarchs are constitutional monarchies. The most recent nation to abolish its monarchy was Nepal, which became a republic in this year, on May 28. Currently 44 nations in the world have monarchs as heads of state, 16 of which are Commonwealth realms that recognize Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom as head of state. After commonwealth realm there are some more types of monarchy: constitutional, semi- constitutional, absolute and subnational monarchies. Many nations formerly with absolute monarchies, such as Morocco, have moved towards constitutional monarchies, although the monarch retains tremendous power. Among the few states that give the monarch claimed full power (both head of state and government) are Brunei, and Saudi Arabia

It's also the oldest some of the rocks are more than 3,000 million years old. Australia is often called `Down Under', because it lies in the Southern Hemisphere. As a result, its seasons are the opposite of ours. Australia, Tasmania and a number of smaller islands form the Commonwealth of Australia. Because of the country's great size, the climate in Australia ranges from tropical regions of the Northern Territory to the cool temperate conditions in the southeast and Tasmania, where it often snows in winter. In the north, half the year is `wet' and half is `dry'. From November to April heavy rain fills the rivers and makes enormous lakes where thousands of birds come for the summer. From May to October it is often sunny and dry for weeks, and it is a popular place for winter

Such a state contrasts with a nation-state where a single nation comprises the bulk of the population. 6. A single-nation state- a geographical area that can be identified as deriving its political legitimacy from serving as a sovereign nation. A state is a political and geopolitical entity, while a nation is a cultural and ethnic one. The term "nation state" implies that the two coincide, but "nation state" formation can take place at different times in different parts of the world. 7. Commonwealth realm- is a sovereign nation within the Commonwealth which has Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state. There are 16 of them (including the UK) and they have a combined area of 18.7 million sq km and a population of 140 million. The vast majority of the population live in the six most populous realms: the UK, Canada, Australia, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, and Jamaica.

Most fans know all the royal names and faces, the line of succession to the throne, and even the family's rarely- used last name. But let's start from the beginning.

The name was changed from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to the English Windsor (from "Windsor Castle"[1]) in 1917 because of anti-German sentiment in the British Empire during World War I

There can be distinguish three separate organs: the legislature, the executive and the judiciary. Parliament, the law-making body, consists of three elements: the Monarchy, the House of Commons and the House of Lords. They meet together only on occasions of ceremonial significance, such as the state opening of Parliament. The Monarch's principle function is to carry out certain ceremonial duties. The Queen is regarded as national symbol and also as a symbol of the unity of the Commonwealth. The British monarch must be Protestant. The House of Commons consists of 650 elected members, called Members of Parliament. Its main purpose is to make laws by passing Acts of Parliament, as well as to discuss current political issues. The House of Lords consists of around 740 non-elected members. Its main legislative function is to examine and revise bills from the Commons. The judicial role of the House of Lords as the highest appeal court in the UK has ended. The Supreme Court

1952. Seda, et saare elanikud pooldavad asumaa staatust ning ühendust USA-ga, kinnitab rahvahääletus aastatel 1967, 1993 ning 1998, mil otsustati Puerto Rico poliitilist staatust mitte muuta. POLIITIKA Kuna eelnevalt Hispaania mõju all olnud saar kandis ka vastavat nimetust (hispaania keeles: Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico), oli see USA Kongressile vastuvõetamatu, mistõttu võeti aastal 1952 kasutusele ametlik ingliskeelne nimetus (Commonwealth of Puerto Rico). 2004 aasta Novembri seisuga selgus, et valijad eelistavad Ühendust, teine pool aga USA osariigi staatust. Vaid 3% valijatest soovis iseisva riigi loomist. Peamised parteid Puerto Ricos on järgmised: • Partido Independentista Puertorriqueño (Puerto Rico Iseseisvuslaste Partei) — separatistlik sotsialistlik-demokraatlik blokk • Partido Nuevo Progresista (Uus Progressiivne Partei) — konservatiivid
