Wales is no more an independent state than Bavaria or Catalonia. All are regional entities of an overarching state government. The word 'country' doesn't really change that fact. North Rhine Westphalia is considered to be a State within the State of Germany
The only difference I can see is our having representation in some sporting events - due to historical reasons.
