[-] nickhammes@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

well sorry idk the difference between commomweath and the map, isn't that the point?

[-] nickhammes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

pretty much! The commonwealth is what the British empire became, most former British colonies are members, and King Charles is its head, though most member states are republics now, and don't have him as their king. It's a mostly-cerrmonial political group that occasionally does things like promote trade or diplomacy

Is India part of the commonwealth?

[-] nickhammes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yup, every British colony as of 1945 joined the commonwealth except Myanmar, and one called Aden that is now part of Yemen

I did not wake up this morning expecting to read someone claiming that Canada is an island.

But Hans Island is an island, and it's ours! ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ

For a moment, I thought, this comment was in response to the Europe map someone else posted. There the answer would have been easy, of course: Eurovision. ๐Ÿ™ƒ
