Wales

Covering an area of 8000 square miles, Wales has 3 million inhabitants, 20% of whom can speak Cymraeg (Welsh).

Wales has been a principality of England since the Act of Union in 1536, although the "Welsh Assembly" sitting in Cardiff is elected by the Welsh people. Wales was in the past known for its coal, tin and lead mines.

The [patron saint]? of Wales is [St David]? and the Welsh flag is composed of a red dragon on a green and white field.

The national emblem is the leek?, a relative of the onion?.

Oh, come on! We can say a lot more about our country! ;) How many other Welsh Wikipedians are there?

Not to be confused with Jimbo Wales, or with whales?, which are both considerably smaller than Wales and not Celtic?, as far as we know.
