Damn fine people. 3rd nation including the USA and India, to show Britain, their empirical ideals are rubbish, and prospering despite them.
Do not forget Canada (left in 1931) and New Zealand (1947).

Although I think that Iraq (1932), Burma (1948), Palestine (1948), Sierra Leone (1961), Uganda (1962) and Rhodesia [aka Zimbabwe] (1965 / 1979 UDI) did not turn out so well.
