How to Sell WALES to the World

If I was marketing Wales to the world, I would probably focus on the VERY large markets OUTSIDE of Wales like Australia, and especially-- NORTH AMERICA (the USA and Canada)!!

The key question is not what does Wales mean to the Welsh or to Europeans... The key question is-- What does Wales mean to those OUTSIDE of Wales? And even more specifically-- What does Wales mean to THE WELSH outside in Australia and NORTH AMERICA?

Some of the largest WELSH demographics in North America are in Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and in and around Ottawa and Toronto (in Canada). And also in Georgia, Texas, Arizona, California, and in and around Chicago and New York City.. All of these have large gatherings of citizens of Welsh heritage (whether they realize their heritage or not). But alot of them DO, and there's also substantial Welsh societies and social networks celebrating our "Welshness" and our ties to the "old country" of Wales. Diolch Yn

@LAnonHubbard Well, sure, all things are relative when looking at Earth from Andromeda... but that is beside the point. Also, concerning practicality...what business is it of an outside party to determine practicality of a specific, different people? American colonies weren't exactly "practical" in their desire to part from the world's power-empire at the time, BTW. Togetherness? Trust me-in a global marketplace, small countries will bind with others to survive, which is natural & practical.

Just imagine how rich Wales would have been during the 1800-1900. All the industry Wales was in. The problem is whilst Wales was producing and generating supstantial capital, the only people that where benefiting from it was London and England. Just like place`s in Africa, and former colonies the English (British establishment) made a good job of profiting from others recoruces.

Thats my veiw why Wales should gain independence from England (British establishment).

@LAnonHubbard the reason we want Independence from England is because during the time we have been one what has Wales gained ? nothing but what have we lost ? Tons England basically migrated here took our coal, steel, iron cooper etc... and then left our country in complete mess and you basically said go clean it up and we'll give you a small allowance out of the money we made off you to help

@aguystudio. If it's not practical then what's the point? Also, what's the big desire to be separate? Separatism is what causes conflicts and creates the them/us mentality.

Aren't we all in it together? I just have trouble figuring out why crossing an arbitrary border makes things different. I've been looking a lot at videos relating to solar system and universe which makes these micro countries wanting to be independent really weird.

The practicality of a people is the responsibility of those people themselves. A people define themselves, as the definitions of others is irrelevant. Furthermore, on a moral plane, If someone doesn't want to live under your roof, you should not make him or her do so...perhaps it is better to support them while they shore up their own house, so to speak.

What is that supposed to mean? The Welsh nation doesn't have enough money? Well, at the moment we don't have any money because we aren't actually a sovreign nation. But you're right of course, look at the poverty in other small nations like Liechtenstein and Luxembourg. Oh hold on, they are doing quite well for themselves aren't they? More unfounded claptrap from Brit Unionists desperately clinging onto a dying entity.

[LAnonHubbard]

Peldroedcymru: The Welsh nation doesn't have enough money to be independent. It's an idea that might sound nice because it might make you feel special or something but is totally impractical.

[Peldroedcymru]

Load of nonsense. Nations are better governing themselves, not letting others do it for them.

[LAnonHubbard]

I think the strive to be independent is ridiculous. Why are people trying to make/keep Wales so distinct from elsewhere in the British Isles?

Separation causes duplication of resources, conflicts, etc.

I get a bit fed up with the fierce Welsh pride carp.

[Schiz0affective]

I agree with the other person, we need independence before anything else.
