==History==
===Pre-Cold War===
Romania was given its independence by the Treaty of Berlin of 1878. During World War II, Romania became a member of the Axis, and after the war ended, it became a satellite state of the Soviet Union.
===Cold War and the Third World War===
Nicolae Ceauşescu, Romania's communist dictator, wanted Romania to become more independent from Moscow than other satellite states of the Eastern Bloc, and was following slightly different foreign policies than Moscow.
The national debt Romania owed to other countries went from $3 billion to almost $10 billion between 1977 and 1981. To try to stay in power, Ceauşescu had anyone who disagreed with him arrested and put in prison; almost 60,000 people were put in psychiatric hospitals - and how many of them were then send to Vladimir Demikhov's Zamrazharka to be turned into Mutants, nobody knows. As the Third World War erupted, Romanian politicians that overthrew Ceauşescu offered to join NATO. NATO released a information, that the new head of state will be a man known as Count Gulagula. The Soviet Union ordered Yuri Semashkoshov to kill him. The operation was a failure, and Romania became a NATO member.
