Romania is situated in Southeastern Europe, bordering the Black Sea, between Bulgaria and Ukraine. The country has taken the name and the culture from the Roman civilization, which left very deep roots: the language and the alphabet have Latin origin.
After World War II, the country was falling under the influence and the control of the Eastern Block, and this forced the economy to become totally State controlled. The situation changed 1989 when Ceausescu, the dictator that ruled the country for 40 years, was removed.

Romania's return to economic growth after consecutive years of contraction was due to successful efforts to strengthen macroeconomic stability.
Romania completed accession talks with the European Union (EU) in December 2004, it must continue provide democratic reforms before it can join the EU, tentatively in 2007. Romania joined NATO in March of 2004.
