Romania seems to be, like Poland, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Romania#Dark_Ages" rel="nofollow">difficult to defend</a> and borders move around. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_War_of_Independence" rel="nofollow">Much of Romania was a province of the Ottoman Empire until 1878</a>. After that they seem to have spent a fair amount of time being a battleground, which can be distracting. And maybe rule by foreign Turks just wasn't conducive to being awesome.<br /><br />Transylvania (a big part of Romania) was often part of European empires. It was a buffer state between the Ottomans and Europe. Interestingly enough, it appears to have been <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principality_of_Transylvania_%281571%E2%80%931711%29" rel="nofollow">ruled simultaneously by both Ottomans and Habsburgs</a> for a good while, that must have been an effort to keep the peace. No matter, Romanians seem to have been second class citizens in their own country. At one time settlement by a military frontier population of German Saxons was conducted.<br /><br />Perhaps you need to establish a certain degree of security in your own nation-state to enable awesomeness.<br /><br /><br />Three interesting factoids in regard to Romania:<br /><br />1) For about a decade it was arguable that the best hackers (in the negative sense of the word; i.e., crackers) were Romanian. Romania may still be <a href="http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/01/ff_hackerville_romania/" rel="nofollow">the capitol of the "black hats" and internet crooks.</a> Kinda negative awesome.<br /><br />2) The worst defeat ever by a USAF fighter group during one mission (a loss of over 20 P-38s in one battle) was inflicted by the Romanian air force flying a fighter plane of Romanian design and manufacture, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IAR_80" rel="nofollow">IAR-80</a>. The Romanians were one of the very few minor powers who designed and built their own world-class fighter plane in the WWII period. Much of this battle may have taken place in a valley at an altitude of only a few hundred feet, which played to the IAR's strength. (About 75 P-38s were attempting a surprise attack but got caught low in the valley.)<br /><br />3) The multi-stage rocket was first unequivocally described in a book by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conrad_Haas" rel="nofollow">Conrad Haas</a>, an arsenal master of Transylvania. Haas was one of the German <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transylvanian_Saxons" rel="nofollow">Transylvania Saxons</a> settled there for military purpose: <i>"... the main task of the German settlers was to defend the southeastern border of the Kingdom of Hungary."</i><br /><br />General violence, conflict, chaos, and "troubles" probably greatly reduce the accomplishments of a population. The leaders of the US seem attached to policies likely to result in potential long-term conflict, which is troubling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-7695115627665046742013-06-15T18:33:51.495-07:002013-06-15T18:33:51.495-07:00If Russians are so great, why isn't Russia awe...<i>If Russians are so great, why isn't Russia awesome?
