I thought the Commonwealths of the UK only had a say in the event of forcing a Royal Family member to abdicate....

I've been to Puerto Rico many times, these "nationalists" think that Puerto Rico should be an indepedent country in the same sense that the Michigan Militia would like Michigan to be an indepedent country. Most Puerto Rican's view themselves as Americans, and the only reason they don't want to become a state is because the poor get a large tax break. However, Puerto Rican citizens and people living within American Commonwealths have no say in Federal Elections which is why living in a Commonwealth has a drawback in that case.

There's the issue of the time, but also the desproportionallity on the passed "judgement", the denying of the presence of Dávila, the ambigous declarations, the fact of several shells founded on the scence...Lots of things to consider. Nothing here will change my mind really (towards imperialist policies), but...

There is the (British) Commonwealth of Nations.

And there is the country called the Commonwealth of Australia (that is its full name but it is just referred to as Australia).

Commonwealth is the Federal level of Australia, while individual states have a fairly large range of powers. However as time goes on, the country is becoming more Federalised.
