The thread about South Sudan in polchat got me thinking about the good old commonwealth; what sort of POD would there need to be to have the Commonwealth still full of independent nations, but with a lot closer ties economically and militarily? Could the Commonwealth ever become something akin to NATO, but encompassing mostly Britain, her ex-colonies and her allies? (Perhaps Portugal and Portugal's colonies could join too, like Mozambique did in OTL?).

What say you community of AH.com?

Edit: My own idea was that somehow WWI is averted, butterflying away a lot of the conflict over the 30s and 40s. Decolonisation occurs at a much slower pace and more supranational unions are created to keep the new nations stable and economically reliant on their mother countries.
