Yes it is, but our Jezza has dual-citizenship which means he can profess loyalty to either nation, depending on how popular/unpopular america happens to be that week

Has anyone got a better estimate?
PS For smaller countries, we in the UK often use the Isle of Wight as a measure of size. For extremely small countries, eg Liechtenstein, the Isle of Wight ferry might be a more suitable measurement of area.

Re: Hasta La Vista boyo
I quote form the article in the link:
He was a rising name in bodybuilding when he was invited to the Mr Wales contest in 1967.
Pensioner Joan Thomas from Maesteg remembers sitting next to the Californian governor at the competition.
"He was 20 and I was 32," said Mrs Thomas.
So, most people who were around the last time a famous person visited Wales are now pensioners.
