Romania
44 countries including Romania belong to the continent called Europe. Romania is a country that belongs to the European continent since then, geographically. And all these continents are divided into more and more parts according to their reasons. They can be associations and some of them are regional. Among them, there is one called the European Union (EU) in the European continent.
European Union (EU - The European Union)
Romania joined this association in 2007. The European Union (EU) is an economic and political union made up of 27 countries. Schengen is another division in this European region. This is a contract. It belongs to 26 European countries. Namely, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovakia, Sweden, and Switzerland. Within this shenanigan, a single jurisdiction operates for international travel purposes with a largely common visa policy.
This Schengen Agreement was signed in 1985 in Lemberg Schengen, so it is called Schengen Agreement. All EU member states except Ireland and Cyprus belong to it. In addition to the EU countries, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein are also Schengen countries. Bulgaria, Romania, and Croatia, which are already members of the EU, are trying to enter the Schengen region by completing some of the rules and facts of this Schengen. Therefore, these three countries are called Schengen acquis. Until these three countries, including Romania, are fully Schengen, people cannot apply the laws of the countries in the Schengen region.
The area between the Schengen countries is called the Schengen region. Although the country is divided into countries in that region, people can travel without any border control in this region. Let's say that person "A" has a visa of a certain type for a certain country belonging to this Schengen zone. But in this case, person A can travel without border control throughout these 27 Rattles. But since Romania is not completely Schengens yet, this border control is implemented for a person coming to Romania. This EU member and Shenagana are two. Although most EU member states are included in both, these two are like two different entities. The European Union is a political and economic union and the Schengen area is an area that allows people to move freely between countries. If Romania is completely Schengened in this way, most of the resident Romanian citizens will own it. And EU citizens (those from EU member states) and residents are allowed to live, work and travel in another EU country without border controls.
Romania belongs to Southeast Europe, with a growing economy, but is one of the most poverty-stricken countries in Europe. The climate is extremely cold, not only snow but very hot for a time, rain or not. The mountainside is just cold. You all know that the weather in Romania is different. There are 4 seasons.
- Spring: (March to May; quite mild)
- Summer: (June to August; generally hot and dry)
- Autumn Season: (September to November; rainy season)
- Winter (December to February; quite severe with frequent snowfall).
Its capital is Bucharest. About 30-40% of Romanians can speak English. The language here is Romanian.Even though Romania joined the European Union in 2007, the currency still used in Romania today is Leu.
Bran Castle and Count Dracula
This medieval fortress is located in the village of Bran in the Transylvanian region of Romania. Known as Bran Castle or Dracula Castle, this is the top tourist attraction in Romania. An important trade route in the Carpentian Mountains has passed through this village called Bran. Therefore, it was in the year 1211 that the Teutonic Knights built the first temporary fort here. In 1377, King Louis I of Hungary allowed the Transylvanian Saxons in the Brasov region to build a fortress as a defense against the expansion of the Ottoman Empire to the north. Accordingly, this fortress was completed in 1388. In the early 15th century, King Sigismund of Hungary surrendered the castle to Prince Mircea of Wallachia (formerly Romania). The age-old castle was handed over to Queen Marie of Great Romania in 1920, who restored the castle as a royal summer residence and lived there before and after the death of her husband, King Ferdinand I, in 1927. She built the main modern building outside the fort, the tea house, which later became a restaurant. Queen Marie died in 1938, and her daughter Princess Ilena was exiled from the country in 1948 by the new communist regime. The communists opened it to the public as a museum in 1956. Princess Ilena also died in 1991. Later, the government that emerged from the fall of the communist regime handed over this castle to Princess Ilena's son, Archbishop Dominic of Habsburg, 2009. However, it continues to function as a museum to this day.
"Dracula" is a Gothic novel written and published by Irish author Bram Stoker in 1897. He started writing it in 1890. Gothic fiction, also known as "gothic horror" in the 20th century, is a genre of literature and film that deals with horror, death, and sometimes love. These Dracula novels are the most popular literary works based on the character Vlad the Impaler (Vlad the Impaler), a cruel ruler of Romania, and the vampire legends of the Transylvanian region, which became the basis for all vampire literature and films.This novel is a gripping adventure story composed of journal entries, letters, and telegrams written by its main characters. Count Dracula, a Transylvanian nobleman, wants to buy a house in London, England.

| Dracula |
The story begins with Jonathan Harker, a lawyer, going on a business trip to stay at Dracula's castle. Harker escapes from the castle after learning that Dracula is a vampire, and Dracula travels to England to plague the seaside town of Whitby. A small group led by Dr. Abraham Van Helsing tries to kill Dracula. That's how the story goes. Bram Stoker, who wrote this Dracula fiction, has never been to Romania. Bran Castle is the only castle in Transylvania that matches Bram Stoker's description of Dracula's castle, so it is known as Dracula's castle around the world. Charles Bonner, an author of "Transylvania: Its Product and Its People," published in 1865, took Stoker's ideas to describe the imaginary Dracula's castle. Many Dracula and vampire-related TV dramas, movies, documentary programs, and books written after that have taken this Bran Palace as the night shots, background, and stills.
Dracula, as he is perceived today, is a fictional character. His name derives from the nickname given to Vlad Ţepeş, ruler of Wallachia between 1456-1462 and 1467, whom historians of the time described as a ruthless and bloodthirsty despot for political reasons.
