# Cos Wales doesn't class as a country...
... but as a principality, unless I am muchly mistakenised.

# no, all four are nations in their own right
I think it was that Wales was the last one to be crushed and the Union Flag had already been established.

# Ooooh
Just researched and found that Wales was legally part of England for the previous 50 years, after being annexed, and thus wasn't deemed fit for such recognition.

I think they're happier in Walesland about it anyway. ;-)

# no no no
It's because Wales is a principality of England since the act of union under Henry VIII in 1536!

Crushed? What're you on?

# ???
why cant a principality be a country? I think the Welsh, Andorrans, Lichtensteiners and Monagaque may dis-agree with this comment.

# I don't know the details of why
but Andorra and Liechtenstein are countries, Wales is a nation and Monaco is a principality.

"A principality is a monarchial feudatory or sovereign state, ruled or reigned over by a Monarch with the title of prince or princess (a synonym is princedom) or (in the widest sense) a Monarch with another title within the generic use of the term prince."
