The Kingdom of Rumania is a monarchy at the crossroads of Eastern and Southeastern Europe in the Balkans. Founded in 1881, when Prince Karl of the House of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen was crowned as King Carol I of Rumania, the first to bear the title. Rumania was a former member of the Axis that participated in the Second World War, and currently a member of Einheitspakt. It borders the Tsardom of Bulgaria to the south, the Independent State of Serbia to the southwest, the Kingdom of Hungary to the west and northwest, the General Governorate of the Vistula to the north and Reichskommissariat Ukraine to the northeast through the Transnistria Governorate.
History[]
The Iron Crown sits heavy on the engorged and victorious Kingdom, sitting at its territorial peak, whilst only 20 years ago the crown lay low, with Romania at its nadir, having ceded Northern Transylvania and other territories to placate the Kingdom of Hungary and their new-found German masters, having but only a few years before ceded territory to the USSR; humiliations to spare Rumania the sword. Through these successions of humiliations, the Iron Guard rose to power, led by the former Air and Marine Minister, Ion Antonescu. It was through this succession to power, that the once Allied power of the Balkans, marched to the call of the German crusade against Bolshevism. Though the call was feared to be a siren song, through the successes of Operation Barbarossa, true to Adolf Hitler's proclamations, the rotten structure did indeed come crashing down, restoring and even expanding the territories of the Kingdom of Rumania in to the former territories of the now shattered USSR. However, these have proven to be more problematic than not, serving as a source of endless tension and conflict.
Politics[]
The Kingdom of Rumania is a constitutional monarchy, led by Prime Minister Ion Mihalache. It has perhaps the most democratic and permissive policies out of all the Einheitspakt member nations (Multi-Party System, Registered Voting, Pluralism etc).
Throughout the course of a campaign, Rumania will stick true to its democratic values, although they do not come without variation - the political spectrum ranges from Christian Conservatives to Radical Liberals and even Agrarian Socialists.
Rumania will eventually also have to decide upon the fate of the Transnistrian territories, these being either fully abandoned (this happening most notably under Radu Câmpeanu) or being split between the Rumanian-majority regions, which will join Rumania itself and the Ukrainian-majority areas, which will be given independence (either under an 'administration' or an actual republic), even though they will still be de facto subjects to Rumania.
