In this, Part 2 of 13 in the National Film Board of Canada's series "Commonwealth of Nations", short profiles are presented of the nine independent countries within the Commonwealth. They are meant to see what ties these nine geographically dispersed and otherwise seemingly different countries together, especially in light of the Commonwealth barely surviving the Suez Crisis one year earlier in 1956. These similarities are outwardly diminishing as the eight "subsidiaries" were borne out of British colonialism, the terms Britain or British no longer used officially in the Commonwealth's name or in describing the Commonwealth. These nine, in order of presentation, are Great Britain (or the United Kingdom), Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, Pakistan (East and West), Ceylon - these three forming what is known as the Indian subcontinent - and the newest in terms of independence, Ghana.
