Where it is
Romania is grouped in Southeast Europe, within Roam’s Europe region. Its land-border list includes 5 countries in this atlas: Bulgaria, Hungary, Moldova, Serbia, Ukraine. The source classifies it as not landlocked.
Romania has a recorded area of 238,391 square kilometres. Among the 8 countries assigned to Southeast Europe in this dataset, it ranks 1 by area, from largest to smallest. Bulgaria is immediately below it, at 110,879 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 19,020,271 people for Romania in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 80 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Romanian. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Romanian Leu (RON). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
