It is one of the Celtic nations and has its own cultural identity that was formed after the withdrawal of the Romans from Great Britain. In the 13th century the Anglo-Norman conquest of Wales concluded, with the defeat of Llewelyn by Edward I and meant the beginning of centuries English occupation.

The country was incorporated into England by the Statute of Rhuddlan of 1284 and later by the Act of Union of 1536, creating the legal entity today known as England and Wales. In the 19th century a local politics developed. In 20th century (1955) Cardiff was elected the capital and in 1999 the National Assembly for Wales was created, which deals with internal affairs.

Welsh symbols and mottos.

As usual, they have their shield, based on the hands by Llewelyn Grande, the well-known Welsh prince since the 13th century. Speaking of his shield, his flag is another symbol (we can see it on the cover). The daffodil is the national flower used on Saint David's Day (March 1) in Wales. The daffodil may be known as "cenhinen Bedr" (St. Peter's leek) It also has a motto "Cymru - byth" meaning "Wales forever"
