The Commonwealth
The Commonwealth is a unique network of 53 Countries from all continents. It is a 'family' of peoples with a common heritage in language, culture, law and education which operates in an atmosphere of trust often absent from world politics. With 1.8 billion, the Commonwealth comprises about one third of the nations of the world and one quarter of its population.
