Moldova

Moldova declared independence on August 27, 1991 as

part of the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The current
Constitution of Moldova 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. Due to a decrease
in industrial and agricultural output following the dissolution
of the Soviet Union, the service sector has grown to
dominate Moldova's economy and currently composes
over 60% of the nation's GDP. However, Moldova remains
the poorest country in Europe. Moldova is a parliamentary
republic with a president as head of state and a prime
minister as head of government.
