Commonwealth Countries
The Commonwealth is a voluntary association of independent
sovereign states, mostly formed by the United Kingdom and
its former colonies. Citizens of Commonwealth nations make
up 30% of the world's population: India is the most populous
member, with a billion people at the 2001 census, while Pakistan,
Bangladesh and Nigeria each contain more than 100 million
people. Tuvalu, by contrast, has only 11,000 inhabitants.
In terms of HIV/AIDS Commonwealth developing countries accounts
for 60% of the 40 million people living with HIV. The 9 most
seriously affected countries are all Commonwealth members.
