England and Wales

England and Wales are both constituent countries of the United Kingdom, that together share a single legal system: English law. Legislatively, England and Wales are treated as a single unit (see State (law)) for the conflict of laws. In the evolution of the UK, paradoxically Wales has been considered a principality rather than an incorporated country, despite Wales' moral status a separate country ethnically, culturally and politically. The National Assembly for Wales (Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru) was finally formed in 1999, which now provides self-governing power for the Welsh, including powers to amend English law from the U.K. Parliament. These powers were widened by the Government of Wales Act 2006, and the Welsh Assembly Government can now propose and pass its own laws.
