Yeah I'm New Zealand and I sent an envoy to the British Isles. No response.

I mentioned after you first posted that I was gonna wait a while before acknowledging your ship. You wrote it as being off the shores of Britain, for matters relating to the Commonwealth, the same day Britain and Australia established the Commonwealth. 

Prior to that very same day, New Zealand would have no idea about the Commonwealth, just like the rest of the world.
