    As being Moldovan, I am rather impressed that for the first time there is a video describing the general history and features of the country instead of continuously repeating the label that is placed upon Moldova as the “poorest country in Europe”. Thank you for educating the world and for providing rather specific, factual information!

      Никто не знает Молдову. Я из Тирасполя, так что я знаю, что там происходит. Скажу вам сразу, что без Кишинева, Приднестровье никогда не справится. Коммунизм отжил свой век, но к сожалению это ещё не понимают. Что касается воссоединения с Румынией, это две разных культуры. Даже Румыния этого не хочет. Нашей страной управляют извне и нам нужно сначала разобраться с внутренними проблемами, а потом можем вести переговоры о потенциальном воссоединении.

    Two things

    2 - The coast south of Moldova did in fact belong to Moldova, but Russia decided to give it to Ukraine and instead give Moldova the Transnistria region which was inhabited by Russian and Ukranian majority, which of course rebeled when Moldova proclaimed independence, the war broke out and Russia came and as ''good guys'' stopped the war and conveniently left their army there to this day.
    So we have been robbed of the sea, the mountains and even the small shitty piece of land they gave us in return.

      Dan Panov Classes are not in Gagauz there, advertising is also in Russian. The state authorized them to have a somewhat level of independence and preserve their language (gagauz) for a reason. If most people are not speaking that language, but mostly Russian, then the status quo needs to be changed, their local government dismantled and have them conform to State laws. Otherwise it’s just nonsense.

Numbers, thus, are extremely inflated. The capital has around 800k people, but the rest of the country's population is at least halved since 1990, completely empty villages beginning to be common. The elderly die, the young prefer the capital or just out of the country. Such a small country, with a small population, but I hear moldovans e verywhere I go.

      The successor of Moldova from EU4 is the part that joined Wallachia in 1859 to form the United Principalities. The present day "Moldova" is just the part that was stolen from Moldova in 1812 by the Russians - Bessarabia.

    By the way, apparantly one million Moldovans have dual citizenship. There is a law in Romania that allows them to 're-gain' Romanian citizenship if they can prove they have ancestors born in Greater Romania. There are many young people that study in Roamnia's cities, then get their paperwork and never go back. So this is the best way to unite the two countries. Screw the politicians, let the peaople decide their nationality :)

    I'm British but live in Eastern Europe now and speak Romanian, and had an excellent time in Moldova late last year during Winter. People are hardworking and good at heart as they have had many struggles and many still struggle to make a living, I had a lot of good conversations and everyone always helped openly. I would encourage people to visit but be open minded and don't try and compare it to what you are used to, just go and take it for what it is and show a bit of respect while there as things are tough, meaning don't haggle over a few lei, as its absolute peanuts for a foreigner and don't go on about how cheap it is; cheap for a visitor maybe but not for the majority of Moldovans. If you visit Transnistria and exit through Moldova again and not Ukraine, then be prepared to answer a few questions from the border police as to why you were there. I hope too one day Romania and Moldova unite, unfortunately it seems that polls in Romania, show Romanians overwhelmingly support it, yet consistently, polls in Moldova show the opposite, that most people want to stay as an independent Moldova.

      @Hungary #1 I think its fair to say that whole area going back to the days before and then during the Roman Empire has experienced many many geographical changes, with land being taken, handed back, formed, re-formed etc. So bit unfair to say Romanians are deceitful and treacherous and less hardworking, when they are the same people, formerly part of Wallachia, Moldavia and Transylvania and given Moldavia and Wallachia did form 'Romania', despite the annexation of Bessarabia by the Soviet Union. So Wallachians and Moldovians were Romania, until the Republic of Moldova declared independence. The east and north east of Romania still is Moldovia. So bit harsh your comments given the history of the region and how often it has changed hands etc, but ultimately modern Moldova and those peoples comprising modern Romania share the same language and the same religion and same traditions.
