Hello everyone, The thread watching for new countries visiting the website has just about maxed out. I mean it already captures 82% of the world! Now Mel has asked me to help in expanding on what is known. Meaning the countries that don’t get recognized often, if at all. My thought is to start breaking down the Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (aka UK today) label. Appealing to my inner nerd and ancestry let’s look at Wales. Wales (Welsh: Cymru) is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. It is bordered by the Irish Sea to the north and west, England to the east, the Bristol Channel to the south, and the Celtic Sea to the south-west. Geography: Wales is Around 8,023 square miles (20,779 km2) in area. There are currently seven cities in Wales. Cardiff (Caerdydd in Welsh) the capital city of Wales has a population of around 363,000 and is located on the South East coast. To the east lies Newport (Casnewydd) and to the west is Swansea (Abertawe). Bangor – on the Menai Strait – overlooks the island of Anglesey, in North West Wales. St Davids in Pembrokeshire has a population of under 2000 and is the smallest city in the UK, and St Asaph, in North East Wales, is the second smallest city in the UK. Wrexham is our youngest city, having been awarded city status in 2022. Highest mountain: Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), Eryri (Snowdonia National Park), at 1,085m (3,560ft). Biggest natural lake: Llyn Tegid National Parks: Wales has three National Parks, which cover 20 per cent of the country's land mass and five National Landscapes. Climate: Wales’ weather is mild and variable - with average temperatures of around 20°C (68°F) in summer, and 6°C (43°F) at low altitude in the winter months. Government: Devolved Government with a First Minister, Cabinet and elected Parliament who meet in the Senedd (parliament) in Cardiff Bay. Language: Welsh and English – Wales is a bilingual country. National Day: St David’s Day, 1 March National symbols: The dragon, daffodil and leek are three of a number of national symbols. Education: Education is compulsory and state funded from 5-16 years of age, and delivered through Nursery, Primary, Middle, Secondary, Special and Welsh Language schools. Around 172,000 students study at further education institutions in Wales every year. There are eight universities in Wales and around 25,000 international students from over 145 countries worldwide are in higher education in Wales – making up 19% of the student population. Work: The standard work week is 37 hours and most workers get around 5 weeks’ holiday a year. Prime office rentals in Cardiff are 50 per cent lower than average London rate Key industries in Wales include Advanced Materials and Manufacturing, the Creative Industries, Financial and Professional Services and Fintech, Energy and Environment, Food and Drink, Life Sciences, Tech and Tourism. Economy: Businesses that come to Wales have easy access to the UK market, with its population of 66 million people. Wales' global exports range from refined oil from Milford Haven to Hilltop Honey, made in Newtown. The Royal Mint at Llantrisant makes five billion coins a year for 60 countries. Germany is Wales' top export destination, taking a fifth of exports. Wales welcomes 10 million visitors a year, including about one million international visitors. I love fun facts… Longest placename: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwll-llantysiliogogogoch is the full name, which means The Church of St Mary in the hollow of the white hazel near the rapid whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio near a red cave, and it is often shortened to Llanfairpwll or Llanfair PG. Well, that’s quite a lesson. I got into it because my grandfather’s family immigrated from there in the 1800’s. Stay tuned for the next exploration. All ideas welcomed!
