ARMS AND FLAGS OF AN INDEPENDENT WALES
There seems little chance of Wales
seeking independence from the United Kingdom (and I'm
not advocating that it does), but I thought I would
speculate about its arms and flags if it did so. I am
assuming that it would remain a realm of HM The Queen.
There's nothing revolutionary here : things are based
largely on British tradition.
