Commonwealth Realms

Commonwealth Realms are independent countries that acknowledge the British monarch as their ceremonial head of state. This group includes nations like Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, which share historical ties with the United Kingdom. While they have their own governments and make their own laws, the monarch's role is largely symbolic and involves representing the nation at official events. Each realm practices its own democracy, but they often collaborate on various issues through the Commonwealth of Nations, fostering cooperation and shared values among member states, many of which are former territories of the British Empire.
