It's the one country with most remaining colonial influence. Look up the British Commonwealth.

I am well aware of that institution, more than you are it seems.

You really consider India to be a colony of the United Kingdom?

Not really as it has its own republic. Like all countries in pink

However it's influence is still huge. If their monarch is in your money out their flag is in yours there is s bit more to it than a decolonised entity.

I reworded colonies to colonial influence in my original post, as I felt it more accurate.
