Landlocked and bounded by Romania and Ukraine, with the ethnic divisions to prove it, Moldova has come a long way in a short time and is arguably more advanced than EU-friendly Romania in many respects.
Republic of Moldova is a parliamentary republic. The Parliament is unicameral and has 101 seats and its members are elected by popular vote.
