The truth hurts

It certainly can but the Principality of Wales hasn't existed for a long time.

[Squeamous]

To my knowledge it's still legally tied to England....do you know different?

What makes you think it's "tied to England" and indeed what do you mean by that.

There was a Principality of Wales but that was hundreds of years ago.

So does having a lobotomy....but there again I'm not English so I wouldn't know

[Mr JP Fugley]

I know what it is, Wales has been ruled by the Monarch of Great Britain for years and by the UK Parliament, so you take that to mean England.

Actually it doesn't but that's not important right now.

Well, Wales has its own parliament but it still has to clear all decisions through London, it is still described as a principality, in fact Wiki describes it as being 'the biggest principality in the world' although it also calls it a country and we know how reliable Wiki is . To my knowledge Wales has never been a 'state' in it's own right and still isn't. I'm willing to be corrected! So what makes you think it is a country then?

No, I mean it was merged with England in the 16th century and has never gained independence (I think). Hence why Wales isn't represented on the UK flag.

Who said it was a state. The two aren't analogous. The Vatican City is a state however I wouldn't describe it as a country.

Oh and Wales doesn't have a Parliament, I don't know what makes you think that.

I think it's really a matter for you to prove your contention that
Wales is not a Country, rather than for other people to prove it is.

If it was "merged" that would mean that England had never achieved it's independence either. I don't think we can accept that, can we.
