There is an old saying "The sun never sets on the British empire" that is because Britain controlled the Americas, most of the Caribbean, South Africa and other parts of Central and Northern Africa, India, Burma, Nepal (that is why they have great and honorable Gurkha soldiers), and had spheres of influence in china.
Precisely British Empire included Australia, New-Zealand, India, Pakistan, Burma, Sri Lanka, Egypt, Kenya, South Africa, Hong Kong, Ireland, Canada, Eastern states of USA, some areas of Arabian desert and few islands in Atlantic/Indian ocean.
The last Empress of India Queen Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon the Queen Mother died 30 March 2002 and was given a full state funeral attended by her daughter QueenElizabeth Alexandra Mary - Reigning Queen and Head Of State of 16 independent sovereign states known as the Commonwealth realms: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Kitts and Nevis. In addition, as Head of the Commonwealth, she is the figurehead/head of state of the 54 member Commonwealth of Nations. She is the titular Supreme Governor of the Church of England/Anglican Faith where it is the established church and a recognised equal to the head of the Roman church the Bishop of Rome or Pontiff - Pope.
No other person has ever been granted such power by the will of the willfully subjugated people.
