Commonwealth

The Commonwealth is a political association of 56 member countries, many of which were formerly part of the British Empire. It promotes cooperation on various issues, including economic development, democracy, and human rights. The member states work together to enhance their mutual interests and foster global peace. The Commonwealth also celebrates shared values, such as diversity and respect for the rule of law. Notable events include the Commonwealth Games, which unite athletes from these nations in friendly competition. The Queen was the symbolic head until her passing in 2022; now, King Charles III serves as the head of the Commonwealth.
