	The size of Wales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The origin of and reasons for the choice of Wales (rather than England, Scotland, etc.) as a unit of measurement is unknown, but its prevalence as a unit probably results from the convenience of its size (neatly 20,000 square km).
		Equally conveniently, England is the size of 6.5 Waleses, and Scotland is the size of 4 Waleses.
		Among frequently used references to "the size of Wales" is that an area of Amazon rainforest the size of Wales is cleared every year.

	Wales Overview \| Wales Tour Guide \| iExplore.com
		Wales is an historic land of castles and mountains, sweeping beaches and strong national identity dating back to pre-Norman times and reinforced in 1999, when Wales was granted its own Assembly.
		Wales is a country of great geographical variation with many long stretches of attractive and often rugged coastline.
		South Wales is mainly known for its industrial heritage but the western part of the coast between Carmarthen Bay and St David’s is similar to that of the more pastoral west country of England, and backed by some equally beautiful countryside.

	Make My Vote Count: An area the size of Wales is covered in bitter, angry nonsense every 30 seconds
		He is talking about the voice of the people of Wales and their feeling closer to the Welsh Assembly, but he knows that at the last Assembly elections, the turnout was miserable.
		Friends in the south Wales valleys, thousands upon thousands of people vote Labour on their second vote, yet none of those votes is counted.
		We have an electoral system that is defrauding the people of north Wales and a political party that wants to exploit their views by trying to suggest that they should not vote for the party in which they believe.

	Compact Size Gives Wales a Key Advantage in Business (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Wales has a major competitive advantage because its compact size and existing business relationships make it fertile territory for spreading management excellence, according to a new report.
		An extensive plan to build and strengthen networks between business people is one of seven key proposals in the report which is the second major policy document published by the Council in the last three years.
		Among the other proposals from the report were calls for the development of “tools,” to help managers to diagnose their own management strengths and weaknesses, and to assess objectively how valuable each piece of learning they experience has been for them and their business.

		Yes but some of those states are so big they are the equivalent of several UK's put together in size and cover a variety of habitats.
		The UK is rather small in size and Wales, England and southern Scotland have a very similar environment.
		Scotland does have species that are not found in the rest of the UK though such as the Scottish wild cat (which can only be found in the north of Scotland) and I think Midges are a Scottish only species because they prefer our cooler weather.

	Planet Ark : Iraq Marshlands Rebound to Go on Despite Turmoil
		The marshlands, believed by some to be the location of the biblical Garden of Eden, once totalled an area nearly the size of Wales and provided a resting spot for thousands of wildfowl migrating between Siberia and Africa.
		Saddam, though, accused the Marsh Arabs of desertion and fighting against his forces during the 1980-1988 war with Iran and of harbouring criminals and dissenters, and he ordered the area to be dammed and drained.
		By 2003, when Saddam was toppled, the area covered by the marshlands had fallen to around 2,000 square kilometres, one-tenth of their size in the early 1970s.
