Geography
Covering 237,500 sq km, Romania is larger than Hungary and Bulgaria combined (it is about half the size of France). The Danube River flows through – or forms a part of the borders of – ten countries and completes its 2850-km course here in Romania’s Danube Delta and the Black Sea. Lying at the crossroads of the major links of communication between the Western and Eastern worlds, Romania has always been in an important geopolitical zone for the stability of the whole continent.
