Romania is a member state of the European Union. According to Romania's Constitution, Romania's territory is not dividable. Romania is not a federative, confederative or union-like state, so it does not have autonomous subdivisions which can be called states. The country is divided into 41 counties (including the capital, Bucharest), not states. It is important to mention that the country was formed by unifying some medieval states and also attaching the Hungarian Transilvania after the end of WWI.

The living conditions of the Romanians are very low compared with the other European countries.

In July 1940, after a Soviet ultimatum, Romania agreed to give up Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina. Two thirds of Bessarabia were combined with a small part of USSR to form the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic. The rest (Northern Bukovina and Budjak) was apportioned to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. Shortly thereafter, on 30 August, under the Second Vienna Award (or Vienna Diktat/Vienna Arbitration), Germany and Italy forced Romania to give half of Transylvania to Hungary. The Hungarians received a region referred to as "Northern Transylvania", while "Southern Transylvania" remained Romanian. Hungary had lost all of Transylvania after World War I in the Treaty of Trianon. They had never surrendered the ambition of regaining the territory. On 7 September, under the Treaty of Craiova, the Kadrilater or "Quadrilateral" (the southern part of Dobrudja) was ceded to Bulgaria (from which it had been taken at the end of the Second Balkan War in 1913).

On June 22, 1941, Germany launched Operation Barbarossa, attacking the Soviet Union on a wide front. Romania joined in the offensive, with Romanian troops crossing the River Prut. After recovering Bessarabia and Bukovina, Romanian units fought side by side with the Germans onward to Odessa, Sevastopol, and Stalingrad.

In February 1943, with the hugely successful Soviet counteroffensive at Stalingrad, it was growing clear that the tide of the war had turned against the Axis Powers and Axis probably will loose the war

When the war finished, under the 1947 Treaty of Paris, the Allies refused co-belligerent status to Romania. Northern Transylvania was, once again, recognised as an integral part of Romania, but the USSR was allowed to annex Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina. Parts in the extreme north and south became part of the Ukrainian SSR; the rest, together with a thin stretch of land on the left bank of the river Dniestr, became a new "Moldavian SSR". Since 1991, these territories are part of Ukraine and of the Republic of Moldova, respectively.

The Roma ("Gypsies") are a distinct ethnic minority, distinguished by Rom blood and the Romani language, whose origins began on the Indian subcontinent over a thousand years ago. No one knows why the original Roma began their great wandering from India to Europe and beyond, but they have dispersed worldwide, despite much persecution and oppression through the centuries.

No, as far as economics and industry is concerned.

Romania registered a 45 % growth on economy above the staring foint, but lacked 26 % under the EU established target of development.

The industry has barely registered growth, to a 2% above start, but still needed 18% to reach target.

The tourism, however, met a whooping 145% growth, 48% above target.

Corruption, legal system and legislature were so far under the target, i don't even mention them :(

We call it 'cozonac'

There is a very hard way to describe it.

A sweet bread with Turkish delight in it.

This is a traditional food, as well
