Facts from Wikipedia’s “Moldavia” page (CC BY-SA 4.0).
Moldavia (, or Țara Moldovei, literally “The Country of Moldavia”; in Romanian Cyrillic: Молдова or Цара Мѡлдовєй; Землѧ Молдавскаѧ; Ἡγεμονία τῆς Μολδαβίας) is a historical region and old principality in Central and Eastern Europe. It is the territory between the Eastern Carpathians and the river Dniester. It used to be an independent state. It existed from the 14th century to 1859, when it united with Wallachia (Țara Românească) as the beginning of modern Romania. Sometimes the regions of Bessarabia (with Budjak), all of Bukovina and Hertsa were part of Moldavia. The region of Pokuttya was also part of it for some time.
The western half of Moldavia is now part of Romania, the eastern part is in the Republic of Moldova, and the northern and southeastern parts are in Ukraine.
