All three of those (assuming the third was Singapore) of those were British colonies.  The clues you have should be enough if you look:

1) The Head of State of this country is Elizabeth II.

2) This country was NEVER the colony of the Kingdom of England, Kingdom of Scotland, Kingdom of Ireland, Kingdom of Great Britain, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, nor the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, nor is it the United Kingdom.

3) This country however was the colony of a SEPARATE nation that was once a colony of the United Kingdom.

Dingdingdingdingdingdingding!

Papua New Guinea, colony of Australia, is the correct answer.

Alright, here goes...

This country was formerly known as Dahomey/Dahomania (I'm not kidding) (until 1975)

I know double posting is typically frowned upon, but...

By the way, I am not going to have computer access from tomorrow (Wednesday, the 5th) to Monday the 11th, so, unless someone gets it before I log off for tonight, I suggest someone else make a question and you all continue the game.  When I get back, I'll remind everyone of the situation and re-post my question.

Dahomey, occasionally Dahomania, was the name of a country in Africa now called the Republic of Benin.

No need, got it from wikipedia.

Alright, very nice job.  I guess my post about me being gone is irrelevant now.

I doubt USA would like to pass on such swallow waters, but since i don't know i need to find a proof. I also bet that USA had and has more than enough submarines in the Pacific to go around at Panama. But anyway found an article in wikipedia about subs being near Panama. Still, can't find any info about Panama being invaded after a communist party won because USA needed a passage.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_S-13_%28SS-118%29


Anyway, the point is that the submarines would have to pass undetected, which requires deep waters, so either an edge of a continental plate or an island.

Chile communism doesn't seem to have had any victory, the only victory was with a coalition and it was repressed by the fascist government. Plus i don't think American Subs would wander near Chile :p
