Even more so, when both Moldova and Wallachia had the same suzerain (like the Ottomans for instance), one country (either Moldova or Wallachia) would have a more autonomous voivode and the other would have a sort of vice-prince, named by the former. So even though the countries were separate, they were ruled as one for most of the medieval era.
Now, I don't have anything against Rep of Moldova being an independent country, but only if it's not planning to become another Transnistria, and it's not justifying its bid for independence with fake history.
