Romênia ou Roménia ) é uma república unitária semipresidencialista localizada no centro-sudeste da Europa, no norte da península dos Bálcãs e na costa ocidental do mar Negro. O país faz fronteira com Hungria, Sérvia, Ucrânia, Moldávia e Bulgária, abrangendo um território de 238 391 quilômetros quadrados, com um clima predominantemente temperado-continental. Com 20,1 milhões de habitantes, é o sétimo membro mais populoso da União Europeia . Sua capital e maior cidade, Bucareste, é a sexta maior cidade da UE. Cerca de 90% da população identifica-se como praticantes da Ortodoxia Oriental e são falantes nativos do romeno, uma língua românica. Com uma rica história cultural, a Romênia tem sido o lar de artistas, músicos e inventores influentes e apresenta uma variedade de atrações turísticas, como o "Castelo do Drácula". A Romênia surge no interior dos territórios da antiga Dácia, uma província do Império Romano, assim como dos principados da Moldávia e Valáquia, formados em uma união pessoal em 1859. A nação conquistou a independência do Império Otomano em 1877 e, no final da Primeira Guerra Mundial, Transilvânia, Bucovina e Bessarábia uniram-se como o soberano Reino da Romênia. No final da Segunda Guerra Mundial, os territórios que hoje correspondem aproximadamente à Moldávia foram ocupados pela União Soviética e o país tornou-se uma república socialista e membro do Pacto de Varsóvia. Após a Revolução Romena de 1989, a nação começou uma transição para a democracia e a economia de mercado capitalista. Desde então, os padrões de vida da população têm tido uma grande melhoria, e, atualmente, a Romênia é um país de renda média-alta com um Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano muito elevado. É membro da Organização do Tratado do Atlântico Norte desde 2004 e faz parte da União Europeia desde 2007. Após um rápido crescimento econômico na década de 2000, o país tem uma economia predominantemente baseada em serviços e é um produtor e exportador de máquinas e de energia elétrica, com empresas como a Automobile Dacia.
