	@infmay: No, the title is correct -- the Commonwealth Realms are those countries in the Commonwealth of Nations which have the Queen as the head of state.

	davidr:	Sep 26th, 2008 at 13:04 GMT	26 points
	@Julian: No, Bermuda isn't a country in its own right but a British Overseas Territory. It has the same status as Gibraltar, the Falkland Islands and several other such places. The Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are also not included: again, the Queen is head of state but these islands are Crown Dependencies rather than fully independent countries.

	In both the Countries and Flags of North America quizzes, "Saint Vincent" is a sufficient answer, but this one required "...and the Grenadines." That really through me off.

	And by 'through' I meant threw me off. Haven't had my coffee yet.

	C_W_Browne:	Sep 26th, 2008 at 15:43 GMT	10 points
	Is there one for all of the commonwealth?

	Robert_Lo:	Sep 26th, 2008 at 16:20 GMT	26 points
	I got all of them except the United Kingdom...wow, someone shoot me please, lol.

	@Robert Lo: Same here! I knew there was a "big one" I was missing though...I blame my lack of coffee, as well.

	Not yet Mr. Badman Browne, but I hoping for one.

	Why does Fiji come up as an aditional answer? I know it was formerly in the Commonwealth Realms, before it became a republic, but so were many other countries that don't come up.

	davidr:	Sep 27th, 2008 at 18:11 GMT	7 points
	I'm guessing that Fiji is an additional answer because the Queen was removed as head of state by a military coup; I think all the others became republics by democratic means. (Corrections welcomed.)

	Robert, I felt pretty dumb after missing the UK too. Doh!

	davidr:	Oct 1st, 2008 at 12:44 GMT	5 points
	I felt pretty stupid after being stuck on 15/16 for ages (you know, at least 30s) even after having read these comments!

	I was stuck on Belize for ages.

	Kind of makes you wonder why Reagan invaded Grenada, doesn't it?

	lordbyham:	Dec 31st, 2008 at 12:54 GMT	0 points
	nice quiz.

	MrOrange:	Jan 10th, 2009 at 17:53 GMT	1 point
	I'm with Badman Browne and Daniel, I'd like to see a quiz for all the Commonwealth Nations

	schumigt:	Jan 17th, 2009 at 15:46 GMT	0 points
	Cool, i got the bonus answer. But i forgot some of the carribean islands.

	OscilatingGibbon:	Jan 19th, 2009 at 13:00 GMT	1 point
	Liking the bonus answer of Fiji, and I agree with Lindsay that it should be consistent with many of the other quizzes and accept St Vincent without the "and the grenadines".

	Mountleek:	Feb 8th, 2009 at 00:40 GMT	1 point
	Forgot the United Kingdom - what a shame!

	AndrewBarbarash:	Mar 13th, 2009 at 03:37 GMT	0 points
	didnt do too well on this 6/16... as an englishman i should hang my head in shame :S

	bart122333:	May 16th, 2009 at 09:59 GMT	1 point
	Haha missed the UK :D

	Psyk:	Jul 8th, 2009 at 12:55 GMT	2 points
	Fiji is bonus answer because while she is no longer queen, she is "Paramount Chief of Fiji". I only used wikipedia to look up the name of her title, I did already know she had some title other than queen there :)

	shakescene:	Jul 20th, 2009 at 03:43 GMT	1 point
	for the question about Bermuda right at the top (from colincorgi in Sept 2008), there's another quiz for the countries that are still British dependencies although not part of the UK.

	its not that i forgot the uk, i just thought they were asking about every other country.

	Good to hear I'm not the only idiot who forgot to list the UK!

	JensonsBeard:	Sep 25th, 2009 at 19:05 GMT	4 points
	I forgot the UK.... I live here, for Christ's sake... :'(

	Missing UK on this is like missing Russia on the ex-Soviet countries.

	Rayavi:	May 30th, 2010 at 03:12 GMT	-2 points
	So a quiz based on UK commonwealths is Americentric? I'm afraid I don't follow your logic, sir/ma'am.

	QuintFan:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 00:13 GMT	-1 points
	I'm American and I thought I knew them all. The ones that always get me (in every geographic quiz) are those damn Caribbean islands. Oh, and PNG was a surprise for me.

	I feel like England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland should have their own listings.

	Hamlet:	Sep 1st, 2010 at 18:28 GMT	0 points
	The question is, if Liz joined Sporcle and took this quiz, how many would she guess? How many of these does she not realize she has power ove.

	lpw88:	Sep 15th, 2010 at 19:21 GMT	-3 points
	if i made this quiz, i wouldn't use the word STATE instead of COUNTRY. the UK is a country, as is Austrslia Canada etc etc

	lpw88:	Sep 15th, 2010 at 19:24 GMT	-1 points
	samoa?

	oz_lizard:	Sep 28th, 2010 at 22:57 GMT	2 points
	@lpw88: the term 'state' is the technical term for what we generally call countries/nations.
