Moldova is a landlocked country in the northeastern corner of Europe’s Balkan region. Its capital is Chișinău, which lies in the south-central part of the country. Moldova became independent in August 1991 after the collapse of the Soviet Union and joined the United Nations in 1992. Before independence, the area had been part of the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic, and it was also historically known as Bessarabia.
