407502
She is currntly the queen of sixteen countries. These are the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, and Saint Kitts and Nevis. They are known as the Commonwealth Realms. She holds these positions equally, and none is considered more important than the other.

This is difficult to answer as a country is not the same as a nation state, eg The UK is a Nation state made up by 4 different countries (Scotland, N.ireland, Wales, England), There are also countries that are not recoginsed within other nation states e.g The Basques, Catalans etc in Spain. \n\nMost commenators exept that there are 243 countries and 193 Nation states, but this is alos wrong as none of the above countries are listed \n\nThere are currently 193 Nation States recognised by the United Nations — its 192 members and the Vatican City, \n\nThis exludes the countries that are not Nation States and one that are but not in the UN  like Taiwain, The Palastine Authority

No, its owned by the Queen. The Queen of England is the head of MI6 the intelligence service. That is like the CIA and the FBI here. Plus the Crown owns Canada and large portions of the USA, read the Treaty of Paris signed after the revolutionary war if you don't believe me.

192 countries exist in the world as of now

192 is the most commonly accepted answer.  However, that does not include several places such as Greenland, Western Sahara, Taiwan, Palestine, Bermuda, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, which all consider themselves countries.

The Falkland Islands are in the South Atlantic, off Argentina, but belong to England. They are British through and through.They are also neighbors to Antarctica.

Define "country".\n\nBy most accounts the answer is 193 - 192 members of the UN, plus  the Vatican.\n\nThen there's stuff like Taiwan, which is de facto independent but doesn't have much of international recognition. There are places like Palestine, which are recognized by some countries but not by all. There are places like South Ossetia, which is pressing for independence from Georgia, which voted for independence, but which isn't having international recognition. There are places like the Western Sahara, which doesn't have a government so much as a war. There are places like Tibet, which by right ought to be independent but was pwnzored by China and hasn't done that much to regain independence. There are places like Sealand, which is a small pier off the coast of Britain that claims independence and runs an essentially law-free and therefore lawsuit-free Internet hosting service.\n\nAnd so forth. If you count the number of named entities which consider themselves independent, it's well over 200. But that's not what most people consider a "country".

Assuming you mean the Queen of England -- she has no political power whatsoever.  She does, however, have money and no doubt many political / affluent connections.\n\nShe has no real power, though.  She's just a figurehead.  The monarchy was abolished as a real political entity in the UK long ago.

Please, correct me if I am wrong, but the UK is not a single country.

Quite simply, Europe has the oldest and largest number of monarchies in the World. There are few monarchs outside of Europe, if any. Actually, I can't think of one! Thailand and a couple of tribal leaders in Africa that call themselves Kings but aren't really, is all I can think of. 99% of the Worlds monarchs are IN Europe. So I'm wondering where the other Royalty is that you are talking about. Let me know, what you mean by Royalty and where you think they are. Jules, lecturer, Australia.

The United Kingdom does not have a President.  It is a parliamentary democracy.  The head of government is Prime Minister Tony Blair, and the head of state is Queen Elizabeth II.

She is the head of state of more than 70 different countries around the world.  Quite honestly, she is the most powerful person on the planet.  The commonwealth of Great Britain means that the Queen is the top official of countries like England, Scotland, Australia, even India.  If she so wanted, she could dissolve every single government she is the head of and replace the leaders with a person of her choosing.  This happened in Australia in the 1970's when the Governor General, a subordinate to the queen dissolved parliament.  She wouldn't of course, but she could, and that's what's scary about countries still flying under the monarchy.\n\nMore typically, she's the repersenative for gifts from other countries, represents England at formal ceremonies, bestows the status of knight (sir), etc.
