The Commonwealth in Great Britain refers to the Commonwealth of Nations, a political association of 56 member countries, many of which are former territories of the British Empire. It promotes cooperation, democracy, and development among its members, emphasizing shared values like human rights and the rule of law. The Commonwealth is not a political union but fosters collaboration through cultural and economic ties, with events like the Commonwealth Games highlighting its unity. The British monarch is the symbolic head of the Commonwealth, although each member is sovereign and independent.
