Technically she is the Head of State of the Commonwealth of Nations (each nation being an autonomous community... equal in status to Great Britain.) Her role is more symbolic, as a focus for unity and identity, as each Commonwealth Community has their own government lead by a prime minster. The ability to make and pass legislation resides with an elected Parliament only, not with the monarchy.

Just making sure that that those who might not know are 'educated' as we are being inundated with history from VFK.

Someone impress me and give me the 16 colonies that make up the Commonwealth of Nations.

Antigua and Barbuda Monarchy of Antigua and Barbuda
Australia Monarchy of Australia
The Bahamas Monarchy of The Bahamas
Barbados Monarchy of Barbados
Belize Monarchy of Belize
Canada Monarchy of Canada
Grenada Monarchy of Grenada
Jamaica Monarchy of Jamaica
Realm of New Zealand Monarchy of New Zealand
Papua New Guinea Monarchy of Papua New Guinea
Saint Kitts and Nevis Monarchy of Saint Kitts and Nevis
Saint Lucia Monarchy of Saint Lucia
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Monarchy of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
Solomon Islands Monarchy of the Solomon Islands
Tuvalu Monarchy of Tuvalu
United Kingdom Monarchy of the United Kingdom

Hi
Oh Bug you beat me to it lol
and by the way the queen can do what is called a delegated legislation.
She is the head of the uk and the head of the church.
I do not believe that if she decides something needs to happen, that it will not be so!

But please everyone...remember *I* have been playing since BETA!

Yes, I don't want to be lumped in with that "gamma" scum either!

Yes that is correct. Yes her role is basically symbolic but still very sentimental to many Canadians.

We do have the Queen's Representative open our Government. Though again chosen by our Prime Minster.

I was not trying to get into a who knows what about Canadian history. Bottom line is if I had a American History test and a Canadian history test. I would pass the American and probaly fail the Canadian.

Just trying to say way I was passionate about the British Flag. But if I could chose more than one I would wear the american one too.

I personally went with the British flag. If there is ever cool retro stuff...like that room that will come out in 2014, I want a Fab 4 Brit invasion themed room!

And if they consider the 90's to be retro instead, it will just be a britpop room.

I hate to say, but our history can be really boring..

I just want to chime in to comment about some posts. Similar comments were brought up in the past when VMK Celebrated Independence Day. What the game makers choose to celebrate as a holiday is up to them.

Please note that the celebration today is in fact "Independence Day". The purpose of the celebration is to "celebrate a memorable day in American History". The celebration of Independence Day is always represented by decorations (e.g., streamers, balloons, and clothing) that are generally colored red, white, and blue, the colors of the American flag. While it was a nice gesture to include the British Flag, I agree with Bug it has nothing to do with Independence Day. It was to celebrate the American's Independence.

that is good news, I know there were some here waiting for that.

 

[BlueSneakerGal]

I am sorry belle you are a most dear friend But I find the way this is worded to be an insult to our country and our flag and I find it offensive. I don't see anyone saying anything negative about the British flag.

Bug

I don't see anything offensive about Belle's post. I don't think she insulted the U.S. OR our flag.

 

[aengus]

I have to admit choosing a flag to me is an odd choice for independance day also.

I mean, are they asking you to vote who you wish won the war? It's an American holiday. I can't imagine they celebrate American independance day in England do they? Shouldnt the union jack show up on a valid English holiday? I would be all for that, there is no other country besides my own I have more respect for. Just not seeing the connection.

A Note From The Developers
July 4th, 2008

Our rain date for our fireworks game is tomorrow, July 5th. We are experiencing something of a sprinkle right now

We are still experiencing some issues when switching between levels in the fireworks game.

We don't want everyone to wait around, so we are going to postpone releasing the game until tomorrow when we feel sure we will have the switching correct.

Have a happy 4th of July!

P.S.
We will have an interesting surprise tomorrow evening, to go with our rain date.

Everyone hold on to something!


I totally think that rocks. Not only were they just honest, but they even could laugh at themselves by making a little joke about it.

Congrats VFK, you just pleased me without any "but" to add.

I was thinking the same thing. Finally, just tell it like it is!

Not only that, this was the third update today, and they left the others up. Today's quest was good, too.

My daughter joined today (she got on the waiting list yesterday) and she is guest 18186 so I would guess there are curently a little over 18,000 members so far. This sounds much more realistic to me than the previous estimate.

I wonder how long it will be before she gets her name. We joined day 2 and my daughter is still guest 6430.

indeed, I think the guest # tells a more believable story.

About the flags, I thought this quest was very good and I learned some things about US history. I play with my DD and she wanted the British flag. She said it reminded her of Epcot. I thought it was neat that there was a choice of flags. I took the US and traded it to DD. The only downside of all these "choices" as quest prizes is that it encourages cloning.
