That is not as dumb a question as some may think. Land grants and titles from previous government are binding and stick. Vast acreages of land in the United States are owned by the British. While this is not de jure colonialism (they have no standing army here) it is de facto. Many students at the Governor Drummond Academy have gone to school on King James land grants well after the Revolution. The case is different in British Crown and Commonwealth countries. It would take a complete majority in parliament to take the Queens portrait off the money in (independent) Canada and probably Australia as well.

Colonized by whom? The USA gained its Independance from The Crown on July 4, 1776 and has been independant ever since. As to Australia, I believe that country is a part of the Commonwealth of Nations, if that still exists, but not colonized by convicts anymore.

No the USA got it's freedom over 200 hundred years ago when we won the American Revolutionary war. Australia sometime in the last 100 years.
