==============================

Apart from a small extension
towards the Black Sea, Romania
is an almost circular country
located in southeast Europe.
The Carpathian Mountains run
through Romania, enclosed by a
ring of rich agricultural
plains and Transylvania within
the Carpathian arc. Romania
has cold snowy winters and hot
summers. Agriculture has been
neglected in favour of
industry, but major crops
include maize, sugar beet,
wheat, potatoes and grapes for
wine. Industry is state-owned
and includes mining,
metallurgy, mechanical
engineering and chemicals.
