Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands,
St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Tuvalu, U.K.

Except for the U.K., the Queen delegates her powers to a Governor or a
Governor-General.

Malaysia, Brunei, Lesotho, Samoa, Swaziland, Tonga (6 countries) are
monarchies with other monarchs as heads of state.  The Malaysian monarch
is chosen by his peer monarchs in the Malaysian Federation from among

Trinidad and Tobago, Vanuatu (10 countries) are parliamentary republics.

Cameroon, Cyprus, Gambia, Ghana, Guyana, Kenya, Kiribati, Malawi,

Promises become binding when there is a meeting of the minds and consideration
is exchanged. So it was at King's Bench in common law England; so it was
