at one time, or still are, considered part of the British Empire--Canada, Newfoundland,
The Thirteen Colonies,
Florida, Bermuda, Bahamas, British Honduras, Mosquito Coast, Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago,
British Guiana, The Falkland Islands, British Antartica Territory, Cayman Island, Jamaica,
St. Kitts & Nevis, Montserrat, Grenada, Turks & Caicos, British Virgin Island, Anguilla,
Antigua & Barbuda, Dominica, St. Lucia, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, South Georgia & the
South Sandwich Islands, South Africa, Basutoland, Swaziland, Tristan da Cunha, South-West
Africa, Bechuanaland, Mauritius, S.Rhodesia, St.Helena, Nyasaland, North Rhodesia, British

Kiribati, Nauru, Tuvalu, Fiji, Vanuatu, Western Samoa, Tonga, New Zealand, Pitcairn,and if
anybody in any of these countries ever fucked up and broke the law? Australia.
Now,
that's a good chunk of the world, and England is a pretty small country.If I lived in
England today, working as, say, an accountant, I would be pretty pissed off that my
Monarchy somehow managed to let 20% of the world slip through their hands while I'm
sitting here eating bubbles and squeek and cold tea before running down to the tube
to aviod being late for work.
And yet, they still love the Queen.
