Mancomunidad

My comment:

Usually by Commonwealth we mean the Mancomunidad Británica de Naciones or just plainly Commonwealth, untranslated. In this case is equivalent to Mancomunidad, a free association of sub-state entities.

Completamente de acuerdo. Cuando se refieren a Virginia se traduce "estado".

Commonwealth

My comment:

That term was included in my thesis, and I did not translate it, since it is the name of the state, and they have not translated it into Spanish. I did, however, include a short footnote stating that the Virginia retained its name of "Commonwealth" since its origins during the American Civil War. Hope it helps...

Estado de Virginia

My comment:

Yo sí lo traduciría. Aquí la Commonwealth no se refiere a la famosa asociación "británica" de países (por si las dudas, la lista de estos países está en: http://www.thecommonwealth.org/Templates/Internal.asp?NodeID=20724&int1stParentNodeID=20596), Creo que la palabra se refiere al tipo de gobierno, por motivos históricos se llama Commonwealth y no State o de otra manera. Pero imagino que el texto habla del Estado de Virginia en EEUU.
