Wales is not represented on the Union Jack because at the time the flag was adopted in the late 17th Century, Wales was officially classed as a part of England. Unofficially, everybody knew that it wasn't and the Welsh themselves CERTAINLY didn't regard themselves as English, but nonetheless it had no official status as a seperate country and it's national flag was not considered worth incorporating into the Union Jack.

Within the past 10 years there have been suggestions to get the Red Dragon put into the Union Jack, but nowadays few people in Wales would WANT that- Wales is now a devolved nation, and most Welsh folk owe their alliegance more to their national flag than to that of the UK. The Union Jack is often resented when flown in wales as being the flag of the occupying power.
