Does the queen own Australia..?
No one can OWN a country. She owns Australia as much as she owns any other country in the Commonwealth, which is a constitutional monarchy, meaning it’s “ruled” by an elected prime minister. The president doesn’t own the US, and Gordon Brown doesn’t OWN Great Britain. I suppose you could say it’s owned by no one, people just think of themselves in Australia as subjects of the Queen. Sure, people can own property, such as a fully paid off house, but you can’t really own a country. This is really hard to explain, but I suppose wars back in, say, the 600s, people would fight to rule a certain area of land…
