I remembered it mostly from a bit of trivia I read, that Prince Charles had an official Papuan name that translated roughly to "Queen's #1 pickaninny".

Wracking my brain trying to come up with the last one alphabetically - what presumably-island nation was once part of the British empire and starts with U, V, W, X, Y, or Z? United what now?

This quiz should maybe more appropriately be called "Countries 'Reigned Over' by Queen Elizabeth II." The term "rule" would more appropriately be used for a monarch that wields real political power (ie King of Saudi Arabia, Sultan of Oman, or King of Swaziland). As a constitutional monarch with ceremonial power, it's more correct to say that Queen Elizabeth II "reigns" rather than "rules." Semantics aside, this is a great quiz!

Reign is a synonym of rule. He put it in quotes

Nope. In a constitutional monarchy, the Queen reigns, but does not rule. It is a well known phrase in the Commonwealth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutional_monarchy

I agree, reign is better. But since he put "rule" in quotes it doesn't matter very much. Since the quotes indicates it is not really ruling anyway.

Why not change it to reign and admit that you have learned something? The queen reigns but does not rule. As catcat says, it's a well-used expression in relation to the UK's constitutional monarchy.

Pull out an etymology. The word comes from Latin for king, not for legislation.

etymology is interesting but also irrelevant to contemporary usage. There you go, Ecce, you learned something.

Nope. It is a republic, along with Guyana. Both Trinidad and Guyana have significant Indian populations, did that lead to republicanism? Note that India was the first republic within the Commonwealth. Pakistan was the second, I think.

It's definitely not... https://www.britannica.com/place/Norfolk-county-England. Norfolk Island isn't either, if you're talking about that: https://www.britannica.com/place/Norfolk-Island. Think you might be confusing "country" with "county."

Sorry to be pedantic, but if the answers are to be in alphabetical order, the countries beginning 'Saint' should be before the Solomon Islands, as 'St.' is an abbreviation. I couldn't for the life of me think of a relevant country alphabetically between Papua New Guinea and St Kitts

Agree. I thought of Solomon Islands but did not type it because alphabetical listing clearly made it impossible. Turns out you have not put the answers alphabetically.

Correction: Barbados is not a republic. It simply changed monarchs. The new queen of Barbados is Robyn Fenty, better known by her regnal name, Rihanna I.

No? It is now a republic. The previous governor-general is now the president, and it also has a prime minister as the head of government. Rihanna is simply honored as the country's national hero.
