Commonwealth research was hit in TfW by blockig additiona research slots behind WT and even behind further focuses and full independence. That was compensated by a free faction technology research sharing group to certain extent. Later in MtG the faction technology research was nerfed massively by not adjusting the % values to the new system at all.
Minimum what should be done here is to adjust the bonuses appropriately, i. e.:
Max tech sharing bonus: 100% (from current 50%).
Tech sharing bonus per member already having the tech: 15% (from current 10%).
Upgrading the bonuses from focuses: 10% should be 15%, 20% should be 30% instead etc.

I mean, if they ever wish to expand upon some alt history commonwealth - giving them paths to adjust to a Britain going change in course would be a good start.

Dominions staying Democratic should get events where they vote on the fate of the common wealth - 1.) stick together and try to carry on alone 2.) go with France 3.) go with the US. Afterwards, each dominion should choose whether to go along with the majority vote or to try to go their own path (India should usually go their own way)

that gives UK a window of a year to reclaim their commonwealth before the commonwealth find a new superpower. You can also give the commonwealth focuses to stick with the changed UK
