George III was king of France and the title has not been surrendered.
Ireland is a royal republic.
This first Dáil in January 1919 issued a Declaration of Independence and proclaimed an Irish Republic. The Declaration was mainly a restatement of the 1916 Proclamation with the additional provision that Ireland was no longer a part of the United Kingdom. The new Irish Republic was recognised internationally by the Russian Soviet Republic.

However, by 1936, systematic attempts to remove references to the monarch from Irish constitutional law meant that the only functions remaining to the Crown were:

signing Letters of Credence accrediting Irish ambassadors to other states; and
signing international treaties on Ireland's behalf.
This status quo remained, with Ireland participating little in the British Commonwealth and Éamon de Valera remarking in 1945 that "we are a republic".

UK 1949
s. 2(1) – Declared that, even though the Republic of Ireland was no longer a British dominion, it would not be treated as a foreign country for the purposes of British law.
s. 2(2) – Established that the Irish ambassador to the United Kingdom would enjoy the same legal privileges with regard to taxation as the High Commissioners representing Commonwealth countries.

s. 3(2) – Made blanket provision for how certain wording in existing British legislation should be construed; for example, references to "His Majesty's dominions" were to be construed as including a reference to the Republic of Ireland despite its actual change of status.

//Did the first one, 75 out of 117.//

I got 70. But I knew the answers to both the TISM questions, and as far as I'm concerned they're the only ones that really count.

France rid themselves of Royalty, not calling for heads, just wait many will come to an end soon.
Wondering when the bottom will fall out of France because it became a republic?

Never mind France, Belly, just tell us how an Australian republic is going to help the average Australian.

Belly,

"Wondering when the bottom will fall out of France because it became a republic?"

Which of the Five Republics do you mean?
