	Based on Sporcle quizzes, Moldova seems like a pretty grim place.

	Wow. I knew Kosovo and Moldova were pretty poor, but — a fifth of the GDP of Romania?! Yikes…

	Moldova has a lower GDP per capita than Botswana. It's a very depressing country.

	Don't move to the Balkans.

	Moldova is the kind of place that just wasn't meant for independence. It's a piece of Romania the USSR swiped, and made into a republic. Then later the USSR collapses and the hapless thing is now without either Romania or Russia, and has to hoof it on it's own. To make matters worse it has a breakaway state inside it filled with angry ethnic Russians. And yeah, lower GDP per capita AND HDI then Botswana.

Comment below threshold: show it

	Ukraine's may be that low because the majority of the country's income can't be listed legally. Damn teenage sex slave trafficking.

	This is why Niko Bellic moved to Liberty City

	I understand that rural Romania is essentially peasant territory and the cities are more modernized. Perhaps Moldova shares some of the characteristics of the poorest parts of Romania.

	What, no Portugal? lol.

	Haha tsneller's joke about Greece was rated down. Some unhappy greek people here on Sporcle?

	What, no Ireland? (Sorry had to do it ..... and Im irish and financially screwed!)

	@HiddenPalace: I am afraid that Moldova has more problems than that. The political economy of the country is not favorable for development with the breakaway state among other things. When I was in Chisinau just a few years ago, there just seemed to be no real commerce. I arrived at an empty airport at rush hour and there was no traffic on the streets. It really was pretty depressing.

	@gowhere, what part of chisinau did you go to ?? there's plenty of commerce, the main street through town is full of shops and flashing lights. it's just not a very big town... p.s. the breakaway region is not full of angry russians, it's full of nice people, i went there too
