The dragon has been used in Wales for centuries to symbolise the spirit of the Welsh people in the face of continued attack from the English. It was only in 1958 that the flag was officially recognised although it has been used for centuries. The dragon stands against a flat green horizon. At times of war or revolt the horizon would be displayed as a hill since the dragon will be more effective in battle if standing on higher ground than the enemy.

Really? What a question......... Wales is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. The same as Scotland, Englnd and Northern Ireland which have their own flags as they are different countries. All together they are known as the United Kingdom.

Wales has its own Assembly government, language, Cardiff is it's capital city,it's own motto "Cymru Am Byth" meaning Wales forever and national anthem "Mae hen wlad fy Nhadau"

What part of Britain is not in the flag of the UK?

Wales is not represented on the Union Flag. Historically Wales was treated as a Principality, not a Kingdom and hence was treated as a junior partner to England by the monarchy. Therefore, the cross of St George was seen to represent England and Wales so there is no separate representation for Wales.
