Map is incorrect - Bangladesh was a former commonwealth realm when it was the Eastern part of Pakistan.
Yes , someone pls add bangladesh to the list coz it was a part of British India till 1947 when it became a part of Pakistan. Similarly , Burma/Myanmar was a Commonwealth realm. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.93.212.56 ( talk) 09:48, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
Egypt was a Commonwealth realm... MrTranscript ( talk) 17:37, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
Maybe I don't understand the commonwealth realm but Guyana is part of the commonwealth. Why is it shown as a former commonwealth realm. It use to be part of the British Empire and was controlled by the British until its independence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.36.172.55 ( talk) 22:14, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
Malta was also a commonwealth realm and should be on the map. -- Jfruh ( talk) 18:58, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
Rhodesia was a commonwealth realm for a short period. MrTranscript ( talk) 21:38, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
It was never recognised as such it was considered a British Colony at the time and upon independence became a republic called Zimbabwe. Lemonade100 14:49, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
Newfoundland was a Commonwealth Realm (or Dominion) once. Although it couldn't afford to remain one because of financial reasons, and was administered as a UK crown colony for a part of the 30's and 40's, it formaly remained a Commonwealth Realm until it joined Canada in 1949. So here we have a territory that at the same time is a former Commonwealth Realm and part of a current one. Unwieldy isn't it! 87.208.3.170 ( talk) 00:30, 29 May 2012 (UTC) (Gerard von Hebel)
I don't know how to edit this image, but I have a suggestion which I think would improve it.
The map has big blue dots for the current realms which are small island states, which makes them much easier to see. Similar big brown dots would make it easier to see the small island states which are former realms -- Fiji, Malta, Mauritius, Trinidad & Tobago.
Also, someone asked about Rhodesia. This is an odd case. While certainly not a Commonwealth realm in the normal sense, it was de facto an independent state which proclaimed Elizabeth II as its monarch. It seems unhistorical not to indicate this somehow. Maybe by colouring it in some other colour or shade -- a very pale brown perhaps??

As it was part of the UK it was a commonwealth, i think : /
