A question for Americans. What do you know about Wales?(Without using Google)?

I went to the states about 2 days ago,and I went to see a rodeo or something,and I was wearing my wales T-shirt. Then an American asked me "where are you from?",I answered "Wales","so where's that then?",he asked,and I looked odd at him and answered "Britain" (Damn I've just given you a clue).So the conversation ended.I want to know do Americans know about Wales?,there's over 2 million Americans with Welsh ancestors and they don't know anything about the place!.But I want you Yanks to prove me wrong. :-)
