Constitutionally we've moved on. Wales is now recognised more or less as an independent nation within the Union whereas pre-Union it was, as you say, a province of England.

Cornwall still suffers this.

If Scotland were to withdraw from the Union, pragmatism will win out over nationalistic causes in the short term. The Union would be re-founded as the United Kingdom of England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

It would, of course, give a huge boost to nationalist causes in Cornwall, Wales the Isle of Man and to a lesser degree to those in England.
