Romania's administration is relatively centralised and administrative subdivisions are therefore fairly simplified.
Romania's currency is the "leu" (plural "lei") (it means "lion" in Romanian). It is the descendant of a Dutch currency that was used in this area in the 17th century.
Bucharest (Romanian: Bucureşti) is the capital city, as well as the economic, administrative, and cultural center of Romania.
It is located in the southeast quadrant of the country, and lies on the banks of the Dâmboviţa River.
