Scottish Regiments in the Canadian Army

Saorstat Eireann, which means the Irish Freestate. When they changed the English name to the Irish Republic, they hurriedly withdrew from a Commonwealth conference, quitting the British Commonwealth. Since then, other countries have withdrawn recognition of the Queen (i.e. become a republic) without leaving this organisation, notably Australia. .

Australia most certainly IS NOT a republic! It is a constitutional monarchy, with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II --The Queen of Australia--as head of state. Moves to form a republic have been so far thwarted, thank God.

That would be correct. Australia is a Commonwealth Realm like Canada.

I guess this has something to do with Scottish regiments in the Canadian Army...
