Romania

Romania is a country in Southeastern Europe. It shares a border with Hungary and Serbia to the west, Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova to the northeast, and Bulgaria to the south. Romania has a stretch of sea coast along the Black Sea. It is located roughly in the lower basin of the Danube and almost all of the Danube Delta is located within its territory

Romania in Hitler's War
Romania remained neutral when war broke out in Europe in 1938. It refused to allow Soviet troops to cross its borders into Czechoslovakia, as the USSR had asserted claims to territory in Romania.

Romania became a stopping point for the transfer of displaced persons seeking to flee Europe. Most notably, Czech soldiers who'd fled into Poland were sent to Romania, who in turn transferred them to France, where a government-in-exile had been established.

However, Romania saw some interntal instability in 1938 and 1939. Fascist politician Ion Antonescu had gained traction in the country.

Romania in In the Presence of Mine Enemies
Romania was an independent ally of the Greater German Reich. It was ruled by the Iron Guard, a party which had become completely corrupt by 2010.

Romania in Worldwar
Romania joined the Axis in World War II and turned over its oil production capacity to the German military. The threat to destroy these oil fields forced Adolf Hitler to work with a puppet Romanian government rather than conquer and annex the country outright as he had many other small countries.

Romania also fought the Race's Conquest Fleet with German support. Its oil fields were heavily attacked by the Race's killercraft, but Romania was never conquered.

Though it did not have diplomatic relations with the Race and had not been invited to attend the peace conference convened in Cairo by Atvar, German ambassador Joachim von Ribbentrop made it clear that Romania was under German protection.

Romania initially fought alongside Germany in the Race-German War of 1965 but later attempted to reach a separate peace with the Race. Germany retaliated by destroying its capital city of Bucharest with an atomic bomb. After that, Romania remained a loyal ally of Germany.

Romania in Gunpowder Empire
Crosstime Traffic had a number of stations located around Romania, but there was considerable local discontent with their presence. Crosstime Traffic staff would often have to be smuggled in secret to reach the stations.

Dacia was a Roman province. Crosstime Traffic stationed traders in the city of Polisso, located in the Agrippan Rome timeline; in the home timeline, this was the Roman ruin of Polissum. Polisso was reached by way of a Crosstime Traffic station in Moigrad, Romania, near the ruins of Polissum.

During a trade expedition by the Solters family, a number of stations in Romania were attacked by by nationalist terrorists. Both the Moigrad station and the other station used to reach Polisso were bombed with biological agents. At the time of the attack, the elder Solters were in the home timeline, and their children Jeremy and Amanda were stranded in Polisso for an extended period of time while the area was decontaminated.
