	ROMANIA
		Romania is situated in south-eastern Europe between latitudes 43 37' 07" north and longitudes 20 15' 44" east, extending approximately 480 km north to south and 640 km east to west.
		Romania is the perfect land of contrasts and paradoxes: the country of Constantin Brancusi, Eugene Ionesco, Emil Cioran, Mircea Eliade, and Nadia Comaneci, but also of Dracula and Nicolae Ceausescu.
		Romania's capital city is Bucharest, with an area of 1,521 sq.

	Blouse Roumaine // Free Excerpt - Ileana Malancioiu // Selected & Introduced by Constantin Roman
		Romania’s political dilemma between 1914 and 1916 in entering the war on the side of the Allies, caused her to sit on the fence as a neutral country for two good years.
		Yet it is clear that confronted with persistent and even justified criticism of Romania’s treatment of minorities, Romania’s chief negotiator, Prime Minister Bratianu, soon found himself losing ground, as well as his temper, when faced with the patronizing attitudes of the Supreme Council.
		Although Romania, like most European nations had little place for women in politics, Marie, had a firm if unofficial role as adviser to her husband, king Ferdinand until his death in 1927.

	Carmen Sylva Queen Elisabeth of Romania / Outlook October 1, 1904
		IT has been my privilege to know Queen Elisabeth of Roumania, widely known as Carmen Sylva, many years, during which period I have enjoyed a continued correspondence and passed many days at her palace in Bucharest.
		Elisabeth has given to the world the example of a pure Court where intellectual life abounds—where high thoughts are spoken and noble plans developed.

		Someone once said, ‘Romania is the country where success has no success!’ But at this moment such critical attitude stood us in good stead, for the wholesale propaganda did not go down as quickly as the Russians evidently expected.

		Unfortunately soon after her return to Romania, Ileana had to confront the invading Russian armies, the advent of Communism and finally the abdication of King Michael in 1947.

		This obviously defied the authorities' policy of holding back the fact that the Jews used to be the second largest ethnic component in the Old Kingdom of Romania, then the fourth largest, 800,000-strong, in the new state emerging from the 1918 Unification.
		Original medals and diplomas, portraits of Colonel Mauriciu Brociner and other Jewish military, remind that the Jewish population provided an important moral and material support for the Romanian War of Independence of 1877-1878 and a significant number of Jews enlisted as volunteers, although, the Jews were still denied the right to naturalization.
		An ethnographic map of Greater Romania shows the number of the Jews, their share of total population, and their strength in the big cities.

		The medal and plaquette issues bearing the effigy of Elisabeth are extremely unevenly distributed over her long life.
		Their rhythm and number were generally linked less to the great political events of the time, and more to his private life, or that of the royal family.
