A Commonwealth republic is any one of the 31 sovereign states of the Commonwealth of Nations that have a republican form of government. In contrast to the 16 Commonwealth realms, they are not in a personal union relationship, do not have Elizabeth II as their respective Head of state, nor do they have another monarch as Head of State. Elizabeth II is still the titular Head of the Commonwealth, but does not have any political power within the Commonwealth republics.
