I found this information online that is relevant to my question: "The Commonwealth of Nations, generally known simply as the Commonwealth, is a political association of 54 member states, almost all of which are former territories of the British Empire. "

Oh, OK. I didn't know about this. My understanding is that Commonwealth is a term that was applied to all the countries that were part of the British Empire. But do you mean, do I have any information about the Commonwealth of Nations?

This is the definition that I found online:  "The Commonwealth of Nations is a voluntary association of 54 sovereign states."  Most of them were were British colonies.

Interesting! The term Commonwealth is older, but was applied to a different set of countries. But let's go with the term you find in your reference source!

I live in the Unites States.  Canada, our neighboring country, is a member of the British Commonwealth.  What is the main aim of the British Commonwealth nations?
