Wales has a population estimated at three million and is a bilingual country, with English the language spoken by the majority, and Welsh the native tongue. The capital Cardiff (Caerdydd), located in the more urbanised southeast, is Wales' largest city.

Cardiff was established as an official capital city in 1955, making it one of Europe's youngest capitals.

Cardiff has been Wales' most prosperous city since the Victorian era.

Wales is known for its divergent and often spectacular landscape, and tourism is popular throughout the land.
