The Queens Riddle

At her meeting with Queen Elizabeth. Julia Gillard turned to the Queen and said:

"As I am Prime Minister, I am thinking of changing how my country is referred to and I am thinking it should be a Kingdom"

The queen replied "I am sorry Ms Gillard but to be a Kingdom you have to be a King in charge and your not a King"

Julia Gillard thought about this and said "How about a Principality then?"

To which the Queen replied "Again to be a Principality you have to be a Prince
and You are not a Prince"

Julia Gillard thought long and hard and came up with "How about an empire then?"

The Queen getting a little ticked off now replied " Sorry again Ms Gillard but to be an Empire you must have an Emperor in charge and you are not an Emperor "

Before Gillard could utter another word The Queen said "I think you are doing quite nicely as a Country".
