In English common law, the dominions of the Crown referred to all the realms and territories under the sovereignty of the Crown, e.g. the Order-in-Council annexing Cyprus in 1914 provided that "... the said Island shall be annexed to and form part of His Majesty's Dominions and the said Island is annexed accordingly".[3]

Use of the word dominion, to refer to a particular territory, dates back to the 16th century, and was used to describe Wales from 1535 to around 1800.[4][5] Dominion, as an official title, was first conferred on Virginia, circa 1660 and the Dominion of New England in 1686. These dominions never had semi-autonomous or self-governing status. Canada received the title upon Confederation in 1867 of several British colonies in North America.

The Imperial Conference of 1907 was the first time the self-governing colonies of Canada and the Commonwealth of Australia would be referred to together as "Dominions".[6] Two other self-governing colonies, New Zealand and Newfoundland, were also granted the title that year. They were followed by South Africa (1910) and the Irish Free State (1922).

Dominion status was officially defined in the Balfour Declaration (1926) and in the Statute of Westminster (1931), which recognized these territories as "autonomous Communities within the British Empire," establishing these states as equals to the United Kingdom, making them essentially independent members of the Commonwealth of Nations. Following the Second World War, the decline of British colonialism led to Dominions generally being referred to as Commonwealth realms, the use of the word gradually diminished within these countries after this time. Nonetheless, though disused, it remains Canada's legal title;[7] moreover, the phrase Her Majesty's Dominions continues occasionally in modern legal usage in the UK.[8]

History

During development, Dominion was originally called "Castle Builder" and then, later, "Game X".

Być może można nawiązać do tej pierwszej nazwy?
