Surprised to see no note of Zimbabwe, and technically, England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Island are all separate nations of the Commonwealth - as seen by their separate entrants in the Commonwealth Games (next held later this year in Glasgow, Scotland).

No they are not. It is all 1 sovereign state, The U.K. There is no such thing as the English government; it is the British government. It is true that they enter separately in the commonwealth games though.

Scottish people are far more likely to call themselves Scottish before British and im pretty sure that's the same for Wales. As far as I know, the only area that, by majority, would say they're British is London. Im not too sure about Northern Ireland though.

I do agree that Scotland, Wales and NI are not under the "English Government". There simply isn't a devolved administration in England and so are ruled directly by the British Government

In the Commonwealth Games, territories that are not countries compete individually. So places like Gibralta and the Isle of Man are in the competition. It's the same deal with England, Wales, etc. They're not sovereign states.

Cameroon is a similar case. Only two provinces of Cameroon were ever English - and those two provinces are treated as inferior by the rest of the country. Anglophone people are discriminated by the Francophone minority. Really, the only reason they joined the Commonwealth must be economic benefit.

(From Wikipedia)

"In the wake of the genocide there, Francophonie member Rwanda has made recent moves away from France's sphere of influence, has replaced French with English as an official language, and joined the Commonwealth at the 2009 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting."

It might not be intuitive, but their rationale for joining makes a lot of sense.

From Wikipedia:

The chief institutions of the organisation are the Commonwealth Secretariat, which focuses on intergovernmental aspects, and the Commonwealth Foundation, which focuses on non-governmental relations between member states.

Member states have no legal obligations to one another, but are connected through their use of the English language and historical ties. Their stated shared values of democracy, human rights and the rule of law are enshrined in the Commonwealth Charter and promoted by the quadrennial Commonwealth Games.

@fiteach that doesnt matter, it could help visualize and do it by region instead of "all over the non-excisting map". Sure you could do that without a map, but for some it can help remember.

I can visualize a map well enough, cause I think in pictures, but still think this quiz would benefit by a map. Simply because it looks cool to zee the places filled in. (Even if it was an empty map)

It may not be a Commonwealth Realm and doesn't recognize Queen Elizabeth as monarch now. But they still have good blood with the UK and are part of the Commonwealth of Nations.

You're from Scotland (part of the UK, but doesn't matter) so I would imagine you would call yourself Scottish anyways....

Why wouldn't it be? It's a member state, just like all the others. All member states have equal status these days, regardless of how the organization came about.

Most surprising for me is Myanmar not being here. I realize that not all former British colonies are part of the Commonwealth (like the US), but Myanmar is especially weird because it's the only British Raj country that didn't join the Commonwealth. Perhaps it has something to do with their constant coups and dictatorships?

That's not correct. All member countries of the Commonwealth of Nations are independent of the UK (with the exception of the UK itself). Some of them (such as Canada) have a head of state who is the same person as the head of state of the UK, but they are nonetheless fully independent.

The hell is Gabon doing on there?

I knew Rwanda and Mozambique were let in under special circumstances. Even Togo I understand, because it was once part of German Gold Coast, which was divided between itself and Ghana, but Gabon? It has no history with the British Empire, nor does it speak English or border any member states

Bordering Cameroon has nothing to do with it. The parts of Cameroon it borders aren't the parts that speak English, nor were they ever part of the British Empire.
