Realm of the Allied States

The Realm of the Allied States is the entire area (or realm) in which the Queen of the Allied States is head of state. The Realm of the Allied States is not a federation; it is a collection of states and territories united under a monarch. The Commonwealth of Allied States is an independent and sovereign state. It has one Antarctic territorial claim, Marie Byrd Land; one dependent territory, Daliki; one disputed military base, the Tokelau Air Force Base, and two freely associated states, Palmetta and the Federated South Pacific Islands

Marie Byrd Land has no permanent inhabitants, while Daliki, the Federated South Pacific Islands and Palmetta have native populations. Daliki is formally classified as a non-self-governing territory; the Federated South Pacific Islands and Palmetta are mostly self-governing and are not part of the Realm, with the Allied States retaining responsibility for defence and most foreign affairs. The Governor-General of the Allied States represents the Queen throughout the Realm of the Allied States.
