	Canada isn't really a "dominion" anymore...there is no official date of abolishment, but 1982 would be as good a year as any.

	@AdamBishop: Except it is officially called the "Dominion of Canada". I have stated that entities that are or were formerly called a "dominion" are included. Though I take the point that the 1907 concept of dominion is no longer relevant. The only places which would come close to that description now are Jersey, Guernsey and the isle of Man which are internally autonomous Crown Dependancies.

	If a country has a governor-general representing the Queen as head of state, it's a dominion. Also if it's one of the countries in the Statutes of Westminster.

	@shakescene: What you describe is technically a Commonwealth Realm (i.e. a Commonwealth country with Queen Elizabeth II as monarch). There is a separate quiz on the existing Commonwealth Realms. I might create one including all of the historic ones.

	Canada is not officially called "Dominion of Canada". That terminology hasn't been used in any official capacity in decades. The Canadian constitution denotes the country as "Canada", not as "Dominion of Canada", nor is there any law "officially" naming the country "Dominion of Canada". If you can point to some official source that contradicts the constitution, I'd like to see it.

	@D_Mac: I have delayed in responding as I have been researching this matter in some detail. I accept that Canada rarely, if ever describes herself as the Dominion of Canada anymore but would contend that it is still the official title of the country. The country was called the Dominion of Canda in the 1871 Constitution Act and the name was not changed in the 1982 Constitution Act. It would require a constitutional amendment to change it in the future. If you can show me a legal instrument amending the country's name I will be happy to amend the quiz.
