Transnistria, Self-declared state between Moldova and Ukraine, Eastern Europe.

The region stretches along the eastern bank of the Dniester River, containing several industrial centers and agricultural lands across its narrow territory.

Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1990, Transnistria proclaimed independence from Moldova, leading to military confrontations between separatist forces and Moldovan authorities.

The population of 470,000 residents includes Russian, Ukrainian, and Moldovan communities, each maintaining their languages and traditions within the territory.

Travelers need special permits to enter Transnistria, and the local currency, the Transnistrian ruble, functions exclusively within the region's boundaries.

The territory maintains Soviet-era symbols on its flag and operates its own government structure with Tiraspol serving as the administrative center.
