I read the frist couple of lines from the article, then I was bored. If I had to guess I would say that no one cares about Transnistria.

Just my humble opinion. :tongue:

Transnistria is a private in joke between Gecko and myself that was started on the Captain 69 board in the UK. Transnistria is a country that does not officially exist and that "seceded" from Moldova when the USSR broke up. It is kept in existence by Russian "peacekeeping forces" and the Russian mafiya. And it is ruled by President Igor Smirnov, a dictator with a poor human rights record who is somewhat less sophisticated than the movie Borat.

Transnistria has a catastrophically bad balance of trade with Russian (its only significant trading partner) and survives by selling itself off to the Russians in small pieces to cover the debt. It also repudiates its entire national debt every few years.

The currency - the Transnistrian rouble - features a drawing of the "world famous" Transnistrian cherry brandy distillery.

President Smirnov wins 100% of the vote at each election although the UN has cast doubts on the validity of the vote. He and his family live extremely well and occasionally they make state visits to South Ossetia, the breakaway "country" that used to be part of Georgia until Russian "peacekeepers" decided to guarantee SO's independence as well. South Ossetia is the only "country" that officially recognizes Transnistria and vice versa.

There have been complaints to the UN about President Smirnov's harsh treatment of the ethnically Romanian minority in Transnistria.

In other words, Transnistria is where Borat should have been born and exists as a tasteless East European joke that has somehow become an independent entity!

All this is true. You can look it up on Wiki!
