# Outline of Moldova

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Moldova:
Moldova (officially the Republic of Moldova, Romanian: Republica Moldova) – landlocked country in Eastern Europe, located between Romania to the west and Ukraine to the north, east, and south. The capital city is Chișinău. Moldova declared itself an independent state in 1991 as part of the dissolution of the Soviet Union (see also: Moldovan Declaration of Independence).
Moldova is a parliamentary republic with a president (Romanian: Președinte) as head of state and a prime minister (Romanian: Prim ministru) as head of government. A new constitution was adopted in 1994. A strip of Moldovan territory on the east bank of the river Dniester has been under the de facto control of the breakaway government of Transnistria since 1990. As a result of a decrease in industrial and agricultural output since the dissolution of the Soviet Union (USSR), the relative size of the service sector in Moldova's economy has grown to dominate its GDP and currently stands at over 60%. Moldova remains, however, the poorest country in Europe.
