Country Details Romania (Land of the Romans) was conquered by the Romans in 106 AD, and became the Roman province of Dacia. For many centuries it suffered through unwanted incursions and occupations. Then, in 1947, it abolished the monarchy and declared itself a republic. Beginning in 1967, internal conditions got much worse, as the country entered a most repressive time. Nicolae Ceausescu assumed the presidency, and his brutal dictatorial rule of corruption, terror and human rights violations almost ruined Romania. His regime finally ended during the revolution of 1989. Ceausescu (and his wife), were captured, quickly brought to trial, then executed. Since then, Romania has taken a bold step toward a free-market economy. Black Sea resorts, hiking and skiing in the Carpathian Mountains, and the Transylvania region (of Count Dracula legend) are international tourist favorites. The Romania maps and information pages are currently being revised, and they will be posted soon.
