[APH] Current!Moldova

I am planning on writing a story with Moldova, so I am currently investigating the background of this country. So, guess, I can say a word or two.
Even though Moldova and Romania are closest countries, their relationship is not as sweet. Well, if you ask Romania, then he will say that they lived happily together until Russia came and forcefully took Moldova. But if you ask Moldova, than he would call the times they lived together an occupation and it wasn`t pleasant. The reason for that is because Romania believes that moldavians as people and moldavian as language should not exist. They were created by Russians. Obviously Moldova doesn`t really like to hear that. Also people are quite afraid of the fact that Romania wants to get united once again. They prefer to deal with Romania as an independent country and not part of it. Also, Moldova has romanian as romanian as an official language, not moldavian. Even though those two are very similar, people feel that their history is being rewritten. Also, I was really shocked to find out that many moldavians believe that their main attraction is an arc dedicated to the liberation from Romania by Russia. Also, many people seems to believe that Moldova had a very nice life during Soviet times. Though some say that Moldova should have stayed within Soviet block, but as an independent country.
Of course, things between Russia and Moldova are not that happy. Moldova is stuck between Russian Customs Union and European Union. The politicians and part of the population are in favour of the second one, that makes Russia rather nervous. However, a lot of people also believe that Moldova should enter Customs Union since 20% of Moldova`s income literally comes from Russia (from moldavians  who work there and sent money back home).
If I remember correctly, on the recent elections in Moldova, the 1st and 3rd parties with biggest votes were pro-Russian, so to say, the smallest got the party that wanted to unite with Romania and the last to were pro-EU. However, the party that was most popular (also for good relationships with Russia) was banned from elections 3 days before they started. I don`t remember what the problem was, I thing it was about money, but some people told me they believe it was done on purpose to prevent the party from victory.
Ok, sorry for bringing Romania and Russia so often, but even moldavians say that their country`s politics does not exist outside these two. And that`s sad.
To the nicer things.
Moldavians say "mey" instead of "hey". Their national dish is mamaliga which is a porridge mode out of yellow maize flour. Moldova has very bad roads (not that he is unique in that) and that often becomes a topic for a long discussion along with jokes about politicians. On the good side, people there are very friendly and like to have parties and celebrations. They love their country, though a lot think that "it used to be better once". Moldova is quite war in temperature sense and, probably, its main fruit to grow is grape. (BTW, Moldova used to be the 3rd biggest food producer in Soviet Union with Russia being the 1st and Ukraine the 2nd).
Unfortunately, due to the economical situation in the country, a lot of people have to leave elsewhere and it also became a joke. Whoever is the last to leave Moldova, turn off the lights.
And just so I don`t finish my comment on the sad note, Moldova has very funny weddings. It is a mixture of moldavian folk traditions and Soviet ones. For example, stupid competitions. Yeah, they are the best.
Thank you for reading all of this. Sorry for any mistakes in this comment. English is not my mother language.
