the Gothic Mulda ( Gothic: 𐌼𐌿𐌻𐌳𐌰, ᛗᚢᛚᛞᚨ) meaning 'dust', 'dirt' (cognate with the English mould), referring to the river. See how just highlighting a few words can give the reader a much better understanding of the topic at hand. Don't you feel that much more enlighten on The People and The Arts of Molvania by just reading that list? I know I did while reading through this guide. The original entry in Wikipedia on Molvanîa was written by my other niece and fellow diplomat, Cameron Van Dierten. However, the Georgian government--who took issue with Molvania's existence from the start--decided to rewrite it in a manner that would present the territory as false, even going so far as to commission a faux-travel guide from Australia--of all places--to cement the territory's place in history as, well, a joke.These hilly regions are part of the Moldavian Plateau, a part of the Carpathian Mountains. Accounting for much of the terrain along that plateau are steep forested slopes interlaced by valleys and ravines.

Morton's Fork: La Diabla flogged one young man for making sexual advances towards her, and another for failing to do so. Olson, James Stuart; Pappas, Lee Brigance; Pappas, Nicholas Charles; Pappas, Nicholas C. J. (1994). An Ethnohistorical Dictionary of the Russian and Soviet Empires. Greenwood Publishing Group. p.550. ISBN 9780313274978. A period of profound crisis followed. Moldavia stopped issuing its own coinage c. 1520, under Prince Ștefăniță, when it was confronted with rapid depletion of funds and rising demands from the Porte. Such problems became endemic when the country, brought into the Great Turkish War, suffered the impact of the stagnation of the Ottoman Empire; at one point, during the 1650s and 1660s, princes began relying on counterfeit coinage (usually copies of Swedish riksdalers, as was that issued by Eustratie Dabija). The economic decline was accompanied by a failure to maintain state structures: the feudal-based Moldavian military forces were no longer convoked, and the few troops maintained by the rulers remained professional mercenaries such as the seimeni. Bar Brawl: Referenced constantly. If a bar is listed under "Inexpensive" then this is what you can expect. Lutenblag has some historical claim to fame. During the middle ages, the Goths, Tatars, Turks, Huns, Balts and militant Spanish nuns all set it alight. In 1506, after the 19th rebuilding, Lutenblag's libertarian city fathers produced the world's first pornographic lithograph. Emerging at the turn of the 20th century as an industrial powerhouse, Molvania became a Nazi enclave and then a communist standard-bearer, before embracing democracy in 1983, when General Tzoric, a military strongman, scored a landslide victory - burying his opponents under tons of earth while they were out campaigning.

About us

Mr Gleisner admitted that he and his co-writers focused on eastern Europe because they felt "no-one, even those who live there, is even sure of the geography of the area".

I personally love how the book starts. Paraphrasing here - Robust culture, magnificent panoramic views, unique flavourful foods, welcoming hosts, are all sadly, absent from Molvania. But, if you look hard enough the most adventurous traveller can have a one of kind travel experience. A legend mentioned in Descriptio Moldaviae (1714) by Dimitrie Cantemir links it to an aurochs hunting trip of the voivode of the Voivodeship of Maramureș Dragoș and the latter's chase of a star-marked aurochs. Dragoș was accompanied by his female hound, called Molda; when they reached the shores of an unfamiliar river, Molda caught up with the animal and was killed by it. The dog's name would have been combined with the Romanian word for water, apă, and given to the river and extended to the country.The Wallachian prince Michael the Brave, after previously taking over Transylvania, also deposed Prince Ieremia Movilă, in 1600, and managed to become the first Prince to rule over Moldavia, Wallachia, and Transylvania; [27] [28] [29] the episode ended in Polish conquests of lands down to Bucharest, soon ended by the outbreak of the Polish–Swedish War and the reestablishment of Ottoman rule. Polish incursions were dealt a blow by the Ottomans during the 1620 Battle of Cecora, which also saw an end to the reign of Gaspar Graziani.

Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: Molvanîans claim, among other things, that one of the thieves which were crucified next to Jesus was Molvanîan and that the 30 pieces of silver given to Judas actually came from the town of Dzrebo. Banana Republic: San Sombrèro is a Central-American nation run by warlords, suffering from endless military coups. Rouge Angles of Satin: There are several paragraphs throughout the books clarifying a typo made in a previous edition. For instance, a note on one of the restaurants says that it was described as "appealing" when, in fact, it should have read "appalling".My name is Edward Van Dierten, and I was the head diplomat for the American embassy in Molvania from the country's inception in 1985 to the recent dissolution earlier this year. Curb-Stomp Battle: The Metizo people confronted the Spanish conquistadores with brightly painted masks. It ended poorly; the Spanish won a crushing victory, with no deaths and only one injury (one of their officers sprained his ankle during an overly energetic victory dance).
