British Empire, formally known as Great Britain in the 16^th century started out with fishing camps in newfound territories.

In 1607, the Empire made its first settlements, these were located in Newfoundlands that fisherman had located during the seasonal period.

The first successful colonial settlement was known as Jamestown in North America then expanded to one quarter of the world’s land mass including territories with large indigenous populations; this included an area of the mainland of China known as The New Territories leased to Britain for 99 years from 1898 to accommodate Hong Kong’s growing population.

The British Empire was renamed The British Commonwealth in 1949 then become known as Commonwealth of Nations and Commonwealth Realms for colonies under the Monarch (Queen).

Settlement in Newfoundland Territories; was usually by British appointed Governors under the Blue; Red or White Ensign Flags. Under the framework of social integration of a new colony into new territories inhabited currently by natives was designed pacifically to involve local natives with in the design.

This framework was to encourage social interaction with the natives and pioneers (colonies) alike in the manner of trade relating to goods and services; social etiquette in relation to interaction and social conduct, as well as literature; housing for better living conditions for all; farming horticultural & agricultural including livestock for continuous food supply as well as the design, use and creation of tools and equipment.

Within this creation of involvement in the planning of living within territories that include native populations the decided best and used approach to new settlements of the Crown was to have large number of natives living within the confinements and surroundings of the colony.

This approach was and is seen by some as stealing slave labour for the benefit of colonies, but in real-terms this was more of a designed way to evolve local natives into the world collective via a more hands on traineeship learning approach of skills. In exchange these selections were given housing, modern food daily in standardise intervals for nutritional habits, clothing and education for services rendered.

Note: Land clearing mainly was done via Colony Prisoners’ and Pioneers alike, colonies and/or province were the populace was found to be mistreated the Appointed Governor of that colony was hanged for misconduct.

Sovereign Territories; were or are military colonies dependent of the British Commonwealth until they could maintain and function independently via their own governments.

Dominions; were colonies such as Australia, New Zealand, Irish Free State, Union of India, Pakistan and Union of South Africa etc that were still part of the British Empire prior to achieving independence in all matters except foreign policy, defence and trade in turn becoming Commonwealth countries with independent governments.

When the Commonwealth Constitution was introduced for colonies, the framework of the Act works on the bases of the following breakdown according to independent countries: were as the country is broken up into States and/or land Territories, these States and/or land Territories operated independently and the Federal Parliament of the Commonwealth is the main body of governing.

The Commonwealth Government; consists of three sides, first being the governing party in power, second being the opposition in which both operate in the lower house ‘The House of Representatives’, the third being the Deliberative Assembly that operates from theupper house ‘The Senate’. Amendments are done to the Commonwealth Constitution only if all parties of government come to an unconditional agreement.

Legislative Powers; (constitution laws) that use to be governed by the Monarch on settlement were pasted onto the Commonwealth Government of that colony in the introduction of a Parliament.

These legislative powers include all functions in the operation of the country including federal and local laws, taxation, and defence forces.

The Governor-General; is a single entity in Commonwealth Countries that are only representatives of the Monarch (Queen) and do not have any holding over the running of or legislative powers of the country. The Monarch only reserves the right to make use of Trade, Defence and Foreign Policy.

In reference to who is required to abide by the Commonwealth Constitution is *Anyone* that makes use of any functional part of society from goods and services to trade, to government assistance etc need be a citizens, permanent status, overseas travellers and natives. Note: not being British or a descendant of The British Empire does not except you!

Seas of Territories; come under direct law or our local Commonwealth Government with the discretion to make use of UN International Maritime Act ‘Law of the Sea’.

The Ownership of Land; of acquired via a Deed that is a lease for a period of time, generally the period is no longer than 99 years of ownership stated under the one name, however this land may be held longer with change of ownership to another member of the family.

The Commonwealth is the owner and holder of any unallocated land that has not been acquired by persons identified as a person directly descended from the native land title holder and/or surrendered by persons identified in the ILUA (Indigenous Land Use Agreement) as persons on whose behalf native title is surrendered. Note: native communities have no entitlement to a claim land that has been surrendered.

State or Territory Government Land; is land that is owned by the state which includes the ownership of forfeited leases due to unpaid mortgages, unused land or abandoned land not claimed by natives; however the State Government can hand unallocated land back to the Commonwealth Government, who in turn may release this unallocated land back to natives without Title Claim.

The Purchase of Land; is in accordance to the value of that land at the time of purchase, values are not taken into account from settlement as in accordance with trade and unallocated acquisition by the British Empire that in-turn was released to the Commonwealth body of that country.

Indigenous Councils; (islands and mainlands) within communities reserve the right to choose if one is to be part of or stay within that community that’s not indigenous to that area unless married to a community member.

Indigenous Communities; (islands and mainlands) are supported by the Commonwealth in the ways of education, food outlets and finance via rural fly-in Centrelink. There are neither commitments nor responsibilities’ within a community for indigenous only on return or integration with mainstream society. Note: increased benefits’ according to costs of living in rural areas.

The benefits on offer via the Commonwealth to indigenous people are three to one to non indigenous with free further education added. Mainstream opportunities are also available at an equal opportunity to all cultures with a percentage of middle to high class positions set aside for indigenous people per year.

Defence Force; reserve the right on conditions set in place by the local council and human rights at periods of time to enter these communities for health checkups and conduct investigations or arrests in accordance to Commonwealth laws.

Final: Thank You for taking time and the opportunity to read this documentation I have put together and hope that this has produced an equal as well as a better understanding of all involved within any settled country.
