Geography:
Romania is in southeast Europe and is slightly smaller than Oregon, with a beautiful landscape. The Carpathian Mountains divide Romania's upper half from north to south and connect near the center of the country with the Transylvanian Alps, running east and west. North and west of these ranges lies the Transylvanian plateau, and to the south and east are the plains of Moldavia and Wallachia. In its last 306 km, the Danube River flows through Romania only. It enters the Black Sea in northern Dobruja, just south of the border with Ukraine.
Government: Republic.
Most of Romania was the Roman province of Dacia from about A.D. 100 to 271. From the 3rd to the 12th century, wave after wave of barbarian conquerors overran the native Daco-Roman population. By the 16th century, the main Romanian principalities of Moldavia and Walachia had become satellites within the Ottoman Empire, although they retained much independence. The nation became a kingdom in 1881 after the Congress of Berlin.
Romania joined NATO in 2004, and in 2005 the EU approved the entry of Romania in 2007. Final acceptance into the EU will require a number of reforms, including increased law enforcement and environmental measures and the protection of the rights of the Roma minority.
The great majority of the inhabitants speak Romanian, although there are also sizable minorities speaking Hungarian (8%) and German (2%). Other ethnic groups include Ukrainians, Serbs, Croats, Gypsies, Russians, and Turks.
Economy:
From 1948 until 1989, Romania had a Soviet-style command economy in which nearly all agricultural and industrial enterprises were state controlled. During those years, it built an economy based largely on heavy industry. Romania remains one of the poorest European countries. Agriculture employs about 27% of the labor force and accounts for 15% of the GNP. Chief crops are corn, sugar beets, potatoes, and various grains.
Romania is the place of birth of the inventor of the jet plane engine "Henri Coanda" and many others. It also has the world's 2nd largest building. It is commonly known for the myth of Count Dracula.

There is a conflict between Romania and Hungary, mainly the reason why you see these Hungary's kiddos writing fake statements about Romania.
However, most romanians don't go down to their level and insult their country over UD.com.

Just like your sexual orientation describes who you can be sexually attracted to, your romantic orientation describes who you can be romantically attracted to.
A lot of people are pariorientated, meaning there sexual and romantic orientations match. (For example a heterosexual heteromantic) But sometimes people are variorientated, meaning they have differing sexual and romantic orientations. (Such as an asexual heteromantic)
Although people often talk about sexual orientation more than romantic orientation, the truth is romantic attraction is usually more important than sexual attraction, as it has a stronger influence on who you will form relationships with and marry.

Friend 1: "I've always wondered, what is your sexuality?"
Friend 2: "Why do you wonder that, doesn't my romantic orientation matter more? I'm not going to marry someone just because they're sexy."
"I don't care who anyone is sexually attracted to, I'd rather know what your romantic orientation is if you're willing to tell me."
"I'm asexual but I do experience romantic attraction."

Get the Romantic Orientation mug.A person coming from Romania (a beautiful (but poor) country in Eastern Europe). Romanians are Orthodox. Are beautiful people (mostly the women). Love soccer (who doesn't???). Romanians are very smart people--education is a top priority. Beautiful music (unless you dont like it). Romanians eat bread with everything, and when eating, must NOT leave food on the plate (LOL). The language is a very nice language, pretty easy to learn, and very similar to Spanish (as it is a Latin-based language).

Get the Clueless Romantic mug.A Five Piece punk / ska outfit from South Westchester and Long Island. Formed in 2008, they gained quick notoriety amongst the local scene due to their busy schedule of near constant shows. This dedication and effort did not go unnoticed, after releasing their first full length Self Titled album they were signed by Altercation Records. Being signed to a label opened up even more opportunities for the JBRs, as several music videos, interviews in magazines such as AMP, and shows with big name acts like Madball, Murphy's Law and the Misfits started to follow. Their success continues to accelerate after having several notches on their proverbial belts come in the name of The Vans Warped Tour, The South By Southwest Festival, and The Fest in Gainesville, Florida. With a sophomoric album release expected in early Spring of 2011, The Jukebox Romantics are to put it simply, on their fucking way.
Person 1: Yo brethren, you going to the The Jukebox Romantics show tonight?
Person 2: Hell yeah!
Case in point.
