Not all of us are english...
Actually, if you want to be pedantic about it, it should be called British Empire and Domonions, and include India, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Not sure about South Africa.
The Empire collapsed after WWII. During the war it was still alive, if not exactly well.

Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, were independent members of the Commonwealth, established in 1931. Ireland was too, but withdrew in 1937. South Africa withdrew from the Commonwealth in 1961, and rejoined in 1994.
