A landlocked non Slavic speaking former East Bloc country in Europe!!?
They're all slavic speaking countries aren't they?
Except... If Romanian isn't a Slavic language - in which case I'll plump for Moldova.

Not on the map I'm looking at - there's a very thin strip of Ukrainian land right on the coast. How else would they easily get to Odessa?Originally posted by Wernazuma III
