Question:

Can you suffocate under a blanket?

If I cover myself with a blanket and there's no air from anywhere.Will I die?Is it possible to survive?

Answer:

A common wealth country is a country that is in the British commonwealth, like Canada, Australia, New ZealandOrginally they were in the British Empire, and before that coloniesNow the commonwealth means that its is a group of countries that all rule themselves but their head of state is the sameIn this case it is Queen Elizabeth II She really has no power in those countries but it still is an important part in our government as she (through a representative) helps form the government, calls elections forms laws and such, she never says no and doesn't have a veto to our laws, like she did at one point, and only once in canadian history has the governor general(rep of Queen in canada) ever said no to the Prime Minister of canadaIt is merely representation and just an official role that will always be there.

A country which Australia is better than at sport.
Not reallyAt least not to the same extent that the British do, with the exception perhaps of Canada and AustraliaIn most other Commonwealth countries, it usually doesn't attract as much public attention, or is only celebrated in a very limited way anywayAnd in one former Commonwealth country - Ireland - Poppy Day is actually viewed with (sometimes enormous) hostility, because it came to be associated SPECIFICALLY with the British Army, rather than a more general recognition of sacrifice in warThe reasons such an assocaition would attract hostility probably don't have to be explained, but that association was further exacerbated by the uber-enthusiastic embracing of 'poppy wearing' by Unionists in Northern IrelandHowever, the 100,000+ Irishmen who fought in WW1 are instead remembered on the National Day of Commemoration, which was first incepted to honour the combatants in the Irish War of Independence, and takes place every July on the day the war ended.
This depends on the type of blanket, and how long you do this forIf you are under any blanket for a couple of minutes, you'll be fineMost blankets, since they are woven out of thread or knitted from yarn, will not suffocate you because there is enough space between the fibers for air to pass through easilyIf the blanket is very thick, made of a synthetic, plastic-like material, or you are under it for hours at a time, it is possible to suffocate, although it is still unlikelyI would advise not sleeping with a blanket completely over your head, but even if you do, you'll most likely be fine.
