If Wales is called a principality does that make it its own country or is it part of Scotland or England or just a principality of the UK?

The UK is comprised of England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland which gives the country its full name of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Each of these is a country within a country. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all have their own legislative bodies and are able to decide on most things except for foreign, economic and military policy. Wales is called a principality because traditionally, the reigning monarch's eldest son is invested with the title of Prince of Wales. In international law, the people of these four parts of the UK are British, however, they would probably describe themselves as being English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish.
