There are 53 member nations including, Great Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and India.

Now I am confused. How can the member nations of the Commonwealth of the Brittish Empire, be soverign nations, yet have their official head of state be the ruler of another country? And why is the queen on half of the world's money?
