Has your teacher ever been teaching about European countries? Has she/he ever said anything about a country named Romania? Do you think Romania is in Italy? Well believe it or not it isn't! It is actually a country in eastern Europe,bordering countries like the Ukraine and Bulgaria.

Government
Romania is a semi-presidential democratic republic. Which means that the active day-by-day duty of running the country is shared between the elected president and the prime minister. Their current president is Traian Băsescu and their current prime minister is Călin Popescu-Tăriceanu. The capitol of Romania is Bucharest (which is also the largest city).

Way of Life
Their housing is very similar to the US. Some parts are modern "big" cities, some is very rural,and some is just in between. Their food is a blend of many styles,probably due to being right in the middle of Europe and Asia,yet it maintains it's own original style of cuisine. They eat such things as us like, pies and peas among the rest, but they have original stuff like stuffed meatballs and cornmeal mush. Their clothing now is very modern and trendy, but their traditional wear is far from the ordinary. The women would wear a rap around the top of head,a puffy,ruffled shirt,and a skirt with the waist above the belly-button.Men wear something that looks like a rough fabric "bag" on the back of their head, a puffy shirt,and wooden shoes or "clogs". Romania has fantastic gymnasts. One of them.Nadia Comaneci was the first gymnast ever to score a perfect "10" in the Olympics.Not only did she wow the crowd with one "10",but she continued to repeat the feat 6 times during the course of the Olympics.She won the all-around floor exercise and with a new age limit set she will forever be the youngest to win the all-around gymnastics title. Romanians love to play soccer,they not be the best in the world, they barely make it to the world cup if at all,but they love it. Romanians have made it into every single Rugby World Cup.
