While the other countries of the UK, Scotland, Ireland and England, are represented in the Union Jack, Wales isn’t. Wales instead stands alone with its much more detailed, unusual flag of a red dragon on a green and white background.

The proud and ancient battle standard of the Welsh is The Red Dragon. The dragon has been associated with Wales for a long time, but its origins and why it is on the flag are unclear.
