Watch: Hilarious St David's Day question on German quiz show

I get your point Hue. I would just add - as someone who has lived and worked in one of the countries you listed (Italy, in my case) - that although most people in Wales (or Scotland or England, for that matter) don't know the first thing about the histories of those countries, at least Welsh people know that they do exist as countries, as political States with their own language(s), laws, customs and cuisine. My experience of living and working in Italy and also working in four other Continental European countries over a period of 16 years, is that most people there either have never even heard of Wales as a region let alone a country in its own right, much less that it has a national Day of celebration for its own Patron Saint, its own language and its own Government. The reason for that is clear: with the exception of Scotland until 1707 and Ireland for the last 100 years, power in Britain (and Ireland) has for over a thousand years, resided in the hands of the English. The Kingdom of England and more recently UK governments, have always projected an image of Britain abroad as a Greater England. Which is why ItaIians and all the other European nationals I met (and continue to meet on my travels) refer to Britain as Inghilterra / Angleterre / Inglaterra and so on. The ignorance of Wales that people outside of Wales have, is entirely due to deliberate policy practiced for over a 1000 years by those in power in England.
