Romania is a Central European or a Balkan country?

[TheForeigner]

I am simply asking about the geographic position of the country. Is it central,eastern or southeastern or balkan(thus also south european). I thnk ethnically and culturally it's mostly balkanic with some other minor influences. Geographically we are told it's in the southeast of central europe, thus a central european country. Remember it's north of the danube and half the carpathian mountains are in the middle of Romania and the country has less in common with the former soviet union,even geographically, not being a mere extension of the russo-ukrainian steppes.

Balkanian country with only House music and nice girls.

Balkan country.

Kind of a blend between east and southeast, while being southeast more than east.

Unless I'm mistaken, Wallachia always was it's springboard and core territory and that's geographically and culturally balkan/byzantine. The rest I'm not that sure about, like Transylvania.

Romanians are pretty based imo anyway. So there's no way the dudes who produced Michael the Brave and the Kebabisiser Vampire are anything but balkanoid.

Wallachia also was a vassal state of Ottomans. Also Romania has a Turkish minority culturally and Turkified a little bit, just like other Balkanians.

Geographically Romania is not balkan. Culturally it's between south-east and east with central european influences.

[Xochi]

Central European.

Romania is a south-eastern European country. Where else would you put it?
