Britain Leads the Way
-
The Romans sailed to Magna Britannia and invaded Wales. So, yes, Britain did invade Wales. I believe William's housemaster at Eton invaded Wales a few times as well.

They only use the name Wales in the army. The rest of the time he was plain old HRHPWSC :-D

Only 22 countries in the world have never been invaded by Britain, according to new research.
I heard this on the Home Service yesterday, bloody brilliant! Does anyone here actually come from a country that Britain has not invaded?

What we now call "Wales" did not exist as a recognised geographic or political unit at the time of the Roman invasion, so Wales could not have been invaded.

Saxe-Coburg-Gotha-Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glucksburg? Although they changed it to something that didn't sound at all German, "Vinsor".

I come from Brazil, we still owe our pants Britain, but they never invaded us (i think)
I'm brazilian and english (well, human languages in general) aren't my best skill, so, sorry by my english. (if you want we can speak in C# or VB.Net =p)
That is because Portugal was Britain's oldest ally, and indeed the only European country with which we have NEVER fought a war with. (Excepting Empire Territories).

Now seriously: while this is true, I am not sure that France has ever been completely "Britsh" once. Parts of it (Britain!) for sure, but the whole country/kingdom ?

Cymru, Cumbria, Cumberland, all inhabited by the same group of people. Wales did not exist until later.

yeah, that's why I expect them to send a squadron to stop this bullshit that those drunks started. Seriously, the independence of Brazil was one of the worst things that happened to us. Our people are too stupid to have voting rights. even today some people still dream of a British invasion to put order in this country.

1938 British naval blockade, that'll do for me. -- NEXT! --

That's a decent todo list: I think we should go for Kyrgyzstan first. If only to rename it something more pronounceable like Anitdistinctlymintymonatarismonia. [Edit] And Sweden too, they're a bit too smug for my liking and need taking down a peg or two.
