Wales does not exist.

I registered with a government website as part of my search for work. Filling in the details there is a drop down menu to select your region. This is a long list of counties together with Scotland, Northern Ireland and Isle of Man......but nothing for anything near where I live. No Powys, no Ceredigion, nor Dyfed, not even "Wales".

No option for typing in anything.
