    The only time I saw one was in the rural side of Estonia.

    if even Scandinavians from time to time take a dump on an outdoor toilet then we Romanians shouldn't be ashamed we're the kings and queens and princesses of outdoor pooping in Europe

    It's pretty shitty, so to speak.

    I do understand the annoyance urban Romanians feel on this topic. There is a stark contrast between urban and rural Romanians when it comes to wealth and levels of education. Even phenotypically they are different, even though most city dwellers don't have urban ancestors going further than 3 or 4 generations.

    For specific historical reasons the urbanization of Romania stopped in late 70s at 50% of the population. Most other EE countries went further with the urbanization process, reaching over 70% these days. There is little doubt that Romania was left behind in this respect, and many Romanians are not happy about it.

    Also getting proper statistics on rural areas in Romania is particularly difficult. People still have to declare residence in Romania even though they have moved decades back abroad, so it's really hard to tell what these statistics are about. Abandoned with boarded windows are super common in villages. Many started building houses in rural areas then abandoned them after deciding not to return. Today (with some exception in Moldova) only old people are living in villages, particularly in the low lands. Getting running water is their least concern, not to mention that many of these old people can't afford it. These villages are dead - throwing money now for building infrastructure is not going to bring people back.

    I fail to see the difference in "level of civilization" - while I lived in the city during college those city dwellers were quite filthy, not cleaning after their dogs, so the entire neighbourhood smelled like dog poop in the evening and the working class women were dressing as bad or worse than those in the village. actually coming from a more developed village I found most Romanians in the city less civilized than people in my village.

    also, do you count Romania's little towns as "urban"? many look post-apocalyptic, I bet most people would choose to stay in a village than in a random Romanian little town made of concrete ghettoes.

    there is no "stark" contrast between rural and urban Romanian if we speak of common people - only that the towns and cities do have a few more wealthy people that look different (clothes) or are more educated. but it's still a minority within the urban dwellers. so your arrogance towards us peasants has no real support in Romania - Romania is a peasant country overall.

    I grew up on a farm and an outhouse was our only toilet. I live in the capital now so I have the indoor bathroom like the vast majority of people here. But there are rural areas where outhouses still exist. There's a secluded restaurant in the woods about an hours drive from where I live and I like to go there for dinner sometimes. The food is nothing spectacular, but at least they have an outhouse. That way I get to use it once again. There's nothing quite like taking a dump in nostalgia's sake.

    Romanian history is being conquered by Alpha-Chad warriors (Turkic, ROman, OStrogoth etc.) minority while 99% of the peasants become docile and submissive.
