"I'm still head of state of 16 countries, bitch please"
The British Empire has played a very significant role in shaping the world and even the country we live in. At one point, a saying was established that the sun never set on the British Empire, owing to the fact that the Empire was so huge, it would always be daytime somewhere in the British Empire. Colonisation made Britain the most important country in the world. The English language is vastly widespread today, due to mass colonisation. Many countries which were part of the British Empire have adopted similar parliamentary systems and recognise the English language as their official. Britain has also influenced the popular culture of today! Britain, today, has 14 British Overseas Territories.
Countries formally in the British Empire (except for Mozambique and Rwanda) have joined an intergovernmental organisation known as The Commonwealth of Nations (or "the Commonwealth"). It consists of 54 independent states. These members cooperate within a framework of common values and goals and promote matters such as democracy, Human rights, free trade, world peace etc... The Head of Commonwealth is a ceremonial position held by Queen Elizabeth II. She is also the monarch of 16 commonwealth members, namely Australia, New Zealand, Canada etc.. which are known as the "Commonwealth realms". The Commonwealth is a forum of non governmental organisations, the Commonwealth Games being a notable product of these organisations. These organisations promote shared culture, politics and legal practices. Hence, diplomatic missions between Commonwealth countries are designated as high commissions instead of embassies.
