    Barbados to remove Queen Elizabeth as head of state - BBC News

    Empire v2.0 not doing very well then.

    Barbados has announced its intention to remove Queen Elizabeth as its head of state and become a republic.
    "The time has come to fully leave our colonial past behind," the Caribbean island nation's government said.

                It must be a bit embarrassing for Barbados to be associated with a failing state.

                  Well as long as they avoid the fate of most of the ex colonies - i.e. Brutal civil war and a mad dictator then good luck to them.

                  Wonder if this figure will go up?

                    That is such a classic statement.
