What is the difference between a 'commonwealth' and a 'state' In a commonwealth landowners do not possess mineral or oil rights to their land. They don't actually own their land but own its use.?
Numerous definitions can be applied to the term commonwealth. In its loosest form, commonwealth means for the common or public good, and is often a state formed for the common good of the people. The term commonwealth can also apply to a group of nations that have a loose alliance for the good of all members of each nation. Several US states have commonwealth designation. These are Virginia, Massachusetts, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania. The commonwealth designation was important as these states originally defined their governance in direct opposition to the governance of the British Empire. The designation now lacks meaning and has merely been retained as a salute to the past history of rebellion that freed the US from British rule. google_ad_request_done.current_ad_block = 1; google_protectAndRun("ads_core.google_render_ad", google_handleError, google_render_ad); Some US territories are also organized as commonwealths. These territories, like Puerto Rico, are not entitled to the same rights and benefits as recognized states.

What year did Dominica join the commonwealth and why?
Dominica is in the Commonwealth of Nations, but is not a Commonwealth Dominion (now referred to as "Realm"). Meaning, essentially, that, while they do acknowledge the British monarch as head of the Commonwealth, the British monarch retains no title pertaining to Dominica (whereas Commonwealth Dominions accept the British monarch as head of state). Dominica joined the Commonwealth of Nations in 1978. While no specific reason is given, it was likely for the incentives offered by the trade agreement which exists between members of the Commonwealth of Nations. Additionally, most countries with ties to British colonialism have opted to remain in the Commonwealth of Nations (with some exceptions, such as the United States, the Republic of Ireland, and Zimbabwe, which was a member of the Commonwealth, but voluntarily withdrew after being suspended).
