Wales is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. Their flag has a picture of a dragon, and is not part of the United Kingdom's flag.

English is universally spoken in Wales - however, the ancestral Celtic language of Welsh is still spoken as a first or second language by approximately a quarter of the population. The long-term decline in Welsh-speakers has stabilised since the early 1990s.

The capital of Wales is Cardiff.

The national sport is rugby union, the national emblems are the leek and the daffodil. South Wales was formerly heavily industrialised, with coal mining and steelworking, whereas North Wales is a pastoral area used mainly for sheepfarming
