It makes logical sense. If nothing else we all speak English, and so do many Swedish universities now. The Americans don't join in, because they rarely do unless they're in charge!

I think a strong argument would have to be made (As I tried to with Fiji and Sierra Leone) for including a country which is not one of HM's dominions in the 'first wave'. As I have always believed the opiton should be available to republics in the future I don't see that as a problem. However, we have to be careful that we have good reasons for including Singapore and excluding Malaysia or South Africa. Not to mention Malta, Cyprus or Dominica. It potentially opens a can of worms if we start randomly selecting non-crown Commonwealth territories that a cynic might argue are too small to significantly alter the ethnic and cultural mix of the federation.
