Transnistria (also called Trans-Dniestr or Transdniestria) is a breakaway state located mostly on a strip of land between the River Dniester and the eastern Moldovan border with Ukraine. Since its declaration of independence in 1990, and especially after the War of Transnistria in 1992, it has been governed as the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (PMR, also known as Pridnestrovie). It is not recognized by any UN state. This "nation" has a population of over 500,000 people. This nation presents a great opportunity for trade and investment. Even though Moldova claims it, it is independent.
