Wales

Some people describe Wales as England's pregnant belly - a hub of land slouching out into the Irish Sea. Wales is a mountainous area, famed for its quiet seaside bays, coal mining, steel works, sheep farming, rugby, and male voice choirs. It is a Principality (with its state head, the Prince of Wales) with two languages - English and Welsh. The main cities are on the south coast at Cardiff and Swansea, areas of heavy industry originally founded on the wealth brought by coal and steel.
