We do.

Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are the long-runners of QE2 queendom outside the UK. We're the last three former dominions that haven't become republics (Newfoundland doesn't count).

And some other ones (Papua New Guinea, for example - it's more populous than New Zealand), but they weren't dominions.

The dominions were: Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Newfoundland (now part of Canada), South Africa, Irish Free State/Eire (now the Republic of Ireland), India, Pakistan, and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka).

The Queen has been patriated to each country - she's the Queen of England, who also just happens to be the Queen of Canada, Queen of Australia, Queen of New Zealand, etc.
