Besides the UK, there are currently 14 independent nations remaining where Charles is the monarch: Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, The Bahamas, Belize, Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Solomon Islands, and Tuvalu.

Most are small (in both population and size) island nations either in the Caribbean region or Oceania. Only 5 have populations over 1 million (Canada, Australia, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, and Jamaica) and only Canada and Australia have populations over 10 million.

Canada is the only member of the G7. Canada and Australia are the only members of the G20.

I suspect Jamaica, New Zealand, and Australia will push to become republics before Canada does just because of the difficulties we have with Constitutional reform here.
