Commonwealth of Nations (British
Commonwealth of Nations)
members who share a common commitment to promoting
human rights, democracy, and economic development; all members accept the
British monarch as the symbolic head of the Commonwealth; all but one,
Mozambique, were once associated in some
constitutional way with either
the former British Empire or with another member country. The association
was formerly known as the British Commonwealth of
Nations, but today is referred to simply as the Commonwealth. English is
the official language of many members of the Commonwealth. About
1.7 billion people live in the 54 independent nations (1/3 of the people
on Earth) and the more than 20 dependencies that make up the Commonwealth.
Commonwealth members share many customs and traditions as a result of their
association with Britain. Many have parliamentary systems of government
based on the British and/or American model, and their judicial and educational
institutions are often similar. Almost all members of the Commonwealth
were once ruled by Britain as part of the British Empire. Some of them
were largely settled by people of the United Kingdom. Others, such as India
and Nigeria, were areas where British administrators governed a large non
British population. The Statute of Westminster, enacted by the British
Parliament in 1931, officially proclaimed the Commonwealth a free association
of self governing dominions. As such, they became independent states, some
of which later formed into independent nations..comprised
