Queen elizabeth ii is the symbolic head of state in which of the following nations?
australia
federated states of micronesia
papua new guinea
indonesia
new zealand
french polynesia

The right answer is Australia, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand

Explanation: Papua New Guinea became an independent Commonwealth realm in 1975 with Elizabeth II as its queen. It also became a member of the Commonwealth of Nations in its own right.

On 1 January 1901, federation of the colonies was achieved after a decade of planning, consultation and voting. This established the Commonwealth of Australia as a dominion of the British Empire.

New Zealand is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary democracy, although its constitution is not codified. Elizabeth II is the Queen of New Zealand and thus the head of state.
