Romania (formerly spelled Rumania or Roumania; Romanian: Romania) is a country in southeastern Europe. It is bordered by Ukraine and Moldova in the northeast, Hungary in the west and Serbia and Bulgaria to the south along the Danube River. Romania has a stretch of sea coast on the Black Sea and the eastern and southern Carpathians mountains run through its center.
The name of Romania (correctly spelled Romania) comes from Roman (which means "Romanian" in the Romanian language, being a derivate of the word "Roman" from Latin). Also, "Tara Romaneasca" (The Romanian Country) is the Romanian name of the former principality of Wallachia.
A large part of Romania's borders with Serbia and Bulgaria is formed by the Danube. The Danube is joined by the Prut River, which forms the border with Moldova. The Danube flows into the Black Sea forming the Danube Delta which is a reservation of the Biosphere.
The Carpathian Mountains dominate the center of Romania surrounding the Transylvanian Plateau, with peaks up to 2,500 m, the highest, Moldoveanu, reaching 2,544 m. In the south, the Carpathians sweeten into hills, towards the Baragan plains. Major cities are the capital Bucharest, Brasov, Timisoara, Cluj-Napoca, Constanta, Craiova, and Iasi.
