The Commonwealth of Nations is a voluntary association of 54 independent or sovereign states. Most of them used to be part of the British colonies but none of them exercises power over the others. They co-operate within a framework of common values and goals.
Queen Elisabeth II is the Head of the Commonwealth although she doesn't have any power over any Commonwealth member states; it's a purely symbolic position.
