At his meeting with Queen Elizabeth recently, the Aussie Prime
>Minister, turned to the Queen and said, "As I'm the Prime Minister, I'm thinking
>of changing how my great country is referred to, and I'm thinking that
>it should be a Kingdom."
>
>The Queen replied, "I'm sorry Mr. Howard, but to be a Kingdom, you have
to have a King in charge - and you're not a King."
>
>John Howard thought a while and then said, "How about a Principality
>then?"
>To which the Queen replied, "Again, to be a Principality you have to be
>
>a Prince - and you're not a Prince, Mr. Howard."
>
>Howard thought long and hard and came up with, "How about an Empire
>then?"
>The Queen, getting a little annoyed by now, replied, "Sorry again, Mr.
>Howard, but to be an Empire you must have an Emperor in charge and you
>are not an Emperor."
>
>Before Howard could utter another word, The Queen said, "I think you're
doing quite nicely as a Country."
