Wallachia, Balkan or Eastern Europe ?

Wallachia had bigger population and territory at that time. Moldova after partitions from 1775 and 1812 lost plenty of land and population.

Exactly, Moldova jumped at the opportunity of a union with Wallachia when it became obvious that it was going to be gulped by Russia otherwise.

I guess I'm Central European now, whiter and superior culturally to those south and east of me

I know you are joking but saying, even if for fun, that Central Europeans are whiter and superior culturally than South Europeans, well...
That even implies North Europeans are whiter and superior culturally than Central and South Europeans. It sounds to joke, specially if you take Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, Belarussians and Russians as example.

Regarding the topic, I have been in Wallachia, well only in Bucharest. Even if poor and dirty as fuck, and full of Gypos, I think it is not as chaotic as one could think of Balkans

Yes, opportunity to become Gypsy shithole in the future, and to be the most undeveloped region without any investitions.

Balkan. Wallachia is the original Romania before extensions to the North in 1859 and 1918.

Kinda hard to call it an expansion to Moldova when Cuza was voted firstly in Moldova, then Wallachia.

An unionist leftist idiot who believed what this union will give some benefits in the future for Moldova, betrayed by his southern cousins 7 years later, and kicked out to dying in exile.
