Moldovaball

Moldovaball is a small countryball in Eastern Europe.

She is Romaniaball's wife and is currently dealing with her illegitimate communist son from rapings of  Sovietball,  Transnistriaball, who has declared partial independence from her. Gagauziaball is also looking to declare independence.

She is also the poorest country in Europe. Her HDI is lower than any other European countryball, even Albaniaball, but she still far from being one of the poorest countries on Earth.

And if you thought that Romaniaball has an unstable political regime, just look at  Moldovaball. Moldova is more corrupt than Romania, as Moldova ranks at 123, lower than Romania's rank of 57, according to the Corruption Perceptions Index of 2016.

She is biologically like Romaniaball but was of kidnapped and raped by  Sovietball in 1940 who did bad things to her, from stealing clay to propaganda and deporting a lot of people to  Siberiaball, and made it impossible for her to develop economically or socially.

After Sovietball's death she became a free and democratic country. But she's at a crossroads and cannot decide between  EUball or  Russiaball. Both want her. She also cannot decide to unite with Romaniaball or remain independent.

Ever since Igor Dodon became president in 2016, she decided pro  Russiaball in hopings of improving economically and also in hopes for a reunion with Transnistriaball that  EUball doesn't care about.

Oh, and she also famous for the meme "Epic Sax Guy"and for the song" Dragostea din tei"AKA"numa numa".

Antiquity
Moldovaball was born as a 2ball in Eastern Europe and she was adopted by  Daciaball in 168 BC.

Her clay was anschlussed by SPQRball and the local population was romanized, taking from the conquerors their language and advanced culture of the Roman Empire.

War Veterans were given clay and Roman Colonists were invited from all corners of the Empire to accelerate the Romanization process.

The people on that clay became Daco-Romans (although they considered themselves as only Romans). In 271 the Roman Legions evacuated Daciaball and the migrations period began (Goths, Huns, Avars, Slavs).

Since the migrationists had no interest of agriculture themselves but needed food they made a deal with the natives, they are allowed to rule themselves and not be killed as long as they give 1/2 of everything they produce.

Middle Ages
Eventually they ended up under Kingdom of Hungaryball and in 1359 succesfully revolted forming  Moldaviaball under Bogdan I "the Founder".

As Moldaviaball she fought many battles against the  Ottomanball and resisted as well as protected the rest of europe for centuries. Her most famous ruler was Stephen the Great with a great win-lose ratio of 34 - 2 against kebab. He once asked all Western European Christian Nations to join him in an ultimate crusade against kebab. Unfortunately nobody joined as they were too busy fighting each other.

"I don't like wars." - Stephen the Great

"We do not owe anything to anyone and we never oppressed anyone! We want to live in understanding with the neighbours that God gave to us, as well as with faraway countries." - Stephen the Great

"If you already have so much money and power, what are you doing in my country ?" - Stephen the Great to Ottomanball.

"Prosperity in houses... and armony... and peace!" - Stephen the Great

" Moldaviaball does not belong to me, nor to us, it belongs to our childrens' children forevermore. And our childrens' children will forever remember our exalted victory" - Stephen the Great

"May you and your childrens' children forever remember the borders we established!" - Stephen the Great

She fought kebab for as much as she could but in the 16th century she was finally anschlussed by Ottomanball.

Modern Age
In 1806 the Russo-Turkish war starts, after 6 years of battle the Russian Empireball wins and anschlusses the eastern half of  Moldaviaball, known as  Bessarabiaball in the Bucharest treaty of 1812. While under Russian Empireball she became one of the poorest provinces of Europe.

In 1859 a union between the western half of Moldaviaball that remained under  Ottoman Empireball (today still part of  Romaniaball) and  Wallachiaball was born,  Romaniaball.

In 1877, Romaniaball declares its independence from  Ottoman Empireball fighting besides  Russian Empireball,  Bulgariaball,  Serbiaball and  Montenegroball in an Orthodoxyball crusade coalition. In 1881, Romaniaball became  Kingdom of Romaniaball.

World Wars
During World War I, taking advantage from the chaos of the communist revolution, she declared independence from Russian Empireball as  Democratic Republic of Moldaviaball. Three months later, the supreme authority of the new Bessarabian state – Sfatul Tarii, decided union with Kingdom of Romaniaball. The newly born Sovietball never recognised this union and saw it as annexation of russian clay.

They were together for 22 years but in 1940 she was kidnapped by Sovietball as a consequence of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact of 1939. Who took Budjakball (GIB SEA BACK!) and Khotynball from her then started of rapings to differentiate her from Romaniaball and eliminate tensions out of a desire for reunification.

The official stance of the government was that Moldovan culture and nationality are distinct from Romanian, the Latin alphabet was replaced with the Cyrillic alphabet and the language was renamed Moldovan, the access of native Bessarabians to positions in administration and economy was limited as they were considered untrustworthy, the authors that promoted a Romanian national sentiment were banned, ethnic cleasing by mass deporting native Bessarabians in Siberiaball started and  Gagauziaball,  Russiaball and  Ukraineball were brought in.

Post-Communism
Ever since Sovietball died in 1991, she has become a free, democratic country. Some thought that Moldovaball and  Romaniaball will unite like  East Germanyball and  West Germanyball. However this did not happen. Unlike East Germanyball who knew they were germans,  Moldovaball was of rapings and part of  Sovietball itself, not a satellite state.

Economically, some would tend to think it was Romaniaball who didn't want the union because he was 5 times richer than  Moldovaball and union meant that he would have to invest a lot of money in  Bessarabiaball. Strangly this wasn't the case, due to patriotic reasons >80% of Romanians wanted the union.

On the other hand, Moldovaball did not want the union because after decades Soviet propaganda she came to believe they are not the same people and she was oppressed by  Romaniaball, many Moldovan intellectuals supported the union and wanted a "reunion with the Romanian motherland", including the president of that time, but there was little popular support for it, with more than 70% of people opposing it.

Moldovaball's declaration of independence from 1991 refers to the official language as Romanian, while her constitution from 1994 refers to the language as Moldovan. There's controversy in Moldovaball whether her langauge is Moldovan or Romanian, due to the communist raping when  Moldovaball was  Moldavian SSRball. Some claim "Romanian people Romanian language" while others claim "I'm Moldovan, I speak Moldovan language".

Scholars agree that Moldovan and Romanian are the same language, with the glottonym "Moldovan" used in certain political contexts. How to say "You have a big house" in Romanian and Moldovan. RO: Ai o casă mare. MD: Ai o casă mare. Internationally the Moldovan language is recognised as another term for the Romanian language rather than a different language as the controversy goes. Moldovan is a Romanian dialect that is also used in some regions of Romania, rather than a different language.

People from urban areas predominantly call their language Romanian while people from the rular areas predominatly call their language Moldovan. Various Moldovan singers performed pro-Romanian language songs such as O-zone "I won't forsake our language" with the last verse being "I won't forsake our language, our Romanian language", Doina and Ion Aldea Teodorovici performed a song called "The Romanian language". Aurica Dicusară Basarabeanca performed a song called "Bessarabia, don't cry" as a tribute to 25 years since the officialization of the romanian language.

After Moldovaball became a member of  UNball in 1992, her president authorized a military intervenience against rebels who still wanted to be part of  Sovietball. Helped by  Russiaball troops, the rebels gained control over the eastern bank of the Dnister river attacking police sections loyal to Moldovaball, thus  Transnistriaball was born. Moldovaball army was outnumbered by russian troops which made them unable to regain control over Transnistriaball. A ceasefire was signed and Transnistriaball declared partial independence from her.

Until 1995 Moldovaball had the same anthem as  Romaniaball, "Awaken thee, Romanian!". Since 1995 the anthem of Moldovaball became "Our Language" written by Alexei Mateevici (1888-1917) as a prase to the Romanian language while under Russian domination urging people to keep using it. However, the song was used by Moldovaball as a praise to the Moldovan language.

2000s
In 2003, a Moldovan-Romanian dictionary by Vasile Stati was published. Linguists of Romaniaball Academy declared that all the Moldovan words are also Romanian words, although some of its contents are disputed as being Russian loanwords. In Moldovaball, the head of the Academy of Sciences' Institute of Linguistics, Ion Bărbuță described the dictionary as "an absurdity, serving political purposes". Vasile Stati, however, accused both of promoting "Romanian colonialism". At that point, a group of Romanian linguists adopted a resolution stating that promotion of the notion of a distinct Moldovan language is an anti-scientific campaign.

In 2006, Romanian newspaper Cotidianul estimated the cost of a union with Moldovaball for  Romaniaball at €30–35 billion, and attracted criticism from the Romanian newspapers Ziua and Timpul for exaggerating the costs and disregarding other dimensions of a possible union.

Starting 2009 the communist party lost power, the percentage of Moldovaball that wants union increased and keeps increasing, however they are still a minority (about 30% of the country). And Moldovaball started moving towards  EUball. However there is  Russiaball who still has troops stationed in Transnistriaball that can repeat the  Crimeaball scenario anytime and invade  Moldovaball under whatever excuse.

2010s
In 2010, Mircea Druc, former prime minister of Moldovaball in 1990 - 1991, declared that the unification of  Romaniaball and  Moldovaball is inevitable. However, acting president Mihai Ghimpu stated that a union is not included in the program of the governing coalition. On another occasion he declared that if the people wanted unification, neither he, nor anyone else could stop them. He admitted on several occasions to personally share unionist views. However, in August 2010 he declared that the proposition of an "inter-state union" between Romaniaball and  Moldovaball was "a very stupid" idea.

In 2013, the Constitutional Court of Moldovaball ruled that the name "Romanian," as used in the Declaration of Independence to identify the official language, prevails over the name "Moldovan," given in the Article 13. Thus the official language settled for "Romanian". However the breakaway region of Transnistriaball continues to recognize "Moldovan" as the official language, along with Russian and Ukrainian.

In, 2013, Romaniaball President Traian Băsescu stated that the third priority for  Romaniaball, after joining NATO and EU, must be the union with Moldova. "I'm convinced that if in Moldova will be an unionist current, Romania will say 'yes' without hesitation". The Mayor of Chișinău, Dorin Chirtoacă welcomed the statements made by Băsescu. On the other hand, the Moldovan prime-minister, Iurie Leancă, described Băsescu's declaration as "creating crucial problems" for Moldova and affirmed his government's support for a sovereign Moldova. In present, Romaniaball supports the full integration of Moldova into the EU.

In 2016, pro-russian Igor Dodon became president who started moving towards  Russiaball. The presidential site of Igor Dodon has seen the Romanian language option changed to Moldovan, which is described to be "in accordance with the constitution" by said president.

Her greatest problems are poverty and her lack of direction, can't decide whether  EUball or  Russiaball and doesn't know who to trust, and the fact that many Moldovans are leaving the countryball for a better life in western countryballs. Some see a solution in reunion with Romaniaball that they describe as "the motherland" but there is the problem of russian troops in  Transnistriaball, others see as solution in joining  EUball but without a union with  Romaniaball, and others see a solution in  Russiaball that they hope they can trust and acts in their best interests.

But until then Moldovaball is doing ok, she is not in a threat or crysis situation and is independent (mostly), in spite of the different opinions and controversy within the country, her people don't live through difficult times in spite of being the poorest country in europe or times of conflict as it may seem from history. It's a peaceful countryball where people live normal lives.

On the bright side, as separate states Moldovaball and  Romaniaball always give each other 12 points on Eurovision, so they got that going for them which is nice. Some believe Moldovaball and  Romaniaball would be better as 2 brother nations but separate like  Germanyball and  Austriaball.

In 2017, she got her best-ever Eurovision result - third place in the final - thanks to the return of her beloved Epic Sax Guy.
