I remembered it mostly from a bit of trivia I read, that Prince Charles had an official Papuan name that translated roughly to "Queen's #1 pickaninny".

Wracking my brain trying to come up with the last one alphabetically - what presumably-island nation was once part of the British empire and starts with U, V, W, X, Y, or Z? United what now?

This quiz should maybe more appropriately be called "Countries 'Reigned Over' by Queen Elizabeth II." The term "rule" would more appropriately be used for a monarch that wields real political power (ie King of Saudi Arabia, Sultan of Oman, or King of Swaziland). As a constitutional monarch with ceremonial power, it's more correct to say that Queen Elizabeth II "reigns" rather than "rules." Semantics aside, this is a great quiz!

Reign is a synonym of rule. He put it in quotes

Nope. In a constitutional monarchy, the Queen reigns, but does not rule. It is a well known phrase in the Commonwealth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutional_monarchy

I agree, reign is better. But since he put "rule" in quotes it doesn't matter very much. Since the quotes indicates it is not really ruling anyway.

Why not change it to reign and admit that you have learned something? The queen reigns but does not rule. As catcat says, it's a well-used expression in relation to the UK's constitutional monarchy.

Pull out an etymology. The word comes from Latin for king, not for legislation.

Nope. It is a republic, along with Guyana. Both Trinidad and Guyana have significant Indian populations, did that lead to republicanism? Note that India was the first republic within the Commonwealth. Pakistan was the second, I think.

It's definitely not... https://www.britannica.com/place/Norfolk-county-England. Norfolk Island isn't either, if you're talking about that: https://www.britannica.com/place/Norfolk-Island. Think you might be confusing "country" with "county."

Sorry to be pedantic, but if the answers are to be in alphabetical order, the countries beginning 'Saint' should be before the Solomon Islands, as 'St.' is an abbreviation. I couldn't for the life of me think of a relevant country alphabetically between Papua New Guinea and St Kitts

Correction: Barbados is not a republic. It simply changed monarchs. The new queen of Barbados is Robyn Fenty, better known by her regnal name, Rihanna I.

No? It is now a republic. The previous governor-general is now the president, and it also has a prime minister as the head of government. Rihanna is simply honored as the country's national hero.

And with Elizabeth gone, it sounds like many Caribbean countries are rethinking their relationship to the monarchy. I'm expecting this list to shrink even further in the next few years.

I mean, he's king of all these countries. He is, for example, King of Canada and King of Australia. And I don't mean that as King of the United Kingdom he rules over those countries ex officio, I mean he literally holds the title of "King of Canada" and "King of Australia"... or "King of Antigua and Barbuda", for that matter - all the countries on this quiz. However, even though people often called Elizabeth the "Queen of England", that hasn't been a title since 1707, when Queen Anne went from Queen of England to Queen of Great Britain with the passage of the Acts of Union, bringing together England and Scotland.

PNG always seems to be a country that people forget about. Excluding the UK itself, for the purposes of this quiz PNG is third in population behind only Canada and Australia - it's almost twice as big as NZ in both population and area. In fact it has almost as many people as all of the realms smaller than it combined. It's also an interesting or notable place in other ways - it occupies a majority of the world's second largest island. It is the world's most linguistically diverse nation with over 800 living native languages - almost 12% of all languages still spoken on Earth.

The caveats section should be edited, Barbados became a republic on 30 November, 2021, rather than 8 September, 2022, when Queen Elizabeth II died.

I do understand that the caveat is in all regards correct, though the wording seems to me that it conveys information that it does not intend to.
