Scenarios about 'commonwealth'
The Commonwealth refers to the voluntary association of sovereign states that evolved from the former British Empire, sharing historical ties to Britain and often similar governmental systems. This international organization, formally established by the 1931 Statute of Westminster, includes diverse nations across six continents that cooperate on democratic values, economic development, and cultural exchange. In alternate history scenarios, the Commonwealth frequently features in timelines exploring different decolonization processes, continued British influence, or alternative political alignments during the Cold War and beyond.
