Morton's Fork: La Diabla flogged one young man for making sexual advances towards her, and another for failing to do so. A landowner named Alexa Moldaowicz is mentioned in a 1334 document as a local boyar in service to Yuriy II of Halych; this attests to the use of the name before the foundation of the Moldavian state and could be the source for the region's name. [ citation needed] The goal of No More Generics! is to provide a portrait of each defined character in the game files. So far, No More Generics adds 700+ new portraits to the game. All "generic" portraits have been replaced, with all characters in the game having their own, unique portrait. Just to the north of Svetranj, at 1120 Sv Livisnki Obala, you will find a humble-looking stone residence that was actually the birthplace and childhood home of Djar Rzeumerten, arguably Molvania's most famous philosopher. Born in 1768, Rzeumerten's greatest achievement was to prove that he did not exist.

Main article: Moldavian military forces Moldavian troops in battle, as illustrated in Johannes de Thurocz (1488 edition); the Moldavian flag is displayed. The exact origins of slavery are not known, as it was a common practice in medieval Europe. As in the Byzantine Empire, the Roma were held as slaves of the state, of the boyars or of the monasteries. Historian Nicolae Iorga associated the Roma people's arrival with the 1241 Mongol invasion of Europe and considered their slavery as a vestige of that era; he believed that the Romanians took the Roma as slaves from the Mongols and preserved their status to control their labor. Other historians consider that the Roma were enslaved while captured during the battles with the Tatars. The practice of enslaving prisoners may also have been taken from the Mongols. The ethnic identity of the "Tatar slaves" is unknown, they could have been captured Tatars of the Golden Horde, Cumans, or the slaves of Tatars and Cumans. [31] While it is possible that some Romani people were slaves or auxiliary troops of the Mongols or Tatars, most of them came from south of the Danube, demonstrating that slavery was a widespread practice. The Tatar slaves, smaller in numbers, were eventually merged into the Roma population. [32]Even San Sombrèro, where Spanish is spoken, contains words unique to the country, mostly US neologisms, like "drivebyshooting". Main articles: National awakening of Romania, Regulamentul Organic, Moldavian Revolution of 1848, and Wallachian Revolution of 1848 Iași, Princely Palace of Moldavia The guidebook provides "invaluable information" for those nervous of negotiating the potential minefield of Molvanian customs.

In 1848, the northwestern part, annexed in 1775 by the Habsburg Empire, Bukovina, had a population of 377,571; in 1856, the eastern half of Moldavia, Bessarabia, annexed in 1812 by the Russian Empire, had a population of 990,274, while the population of Moldavia proper (the western half), in 1859, was 1,463,927.

East Central Europe. 32 (1–2): 5–58. doi: 10.1163/18763308-90001031. Contemporary historians estimate the population (historically referred to as Moldavians) of the Moldavian Principality in the 15th century, at between 250,000 and 600,000 people, [38] [39] but an extensive census was first conducted in 1769–1774. [40]Pirate Girl: The feared pirate "La Diabla" was a woman, albeit one who could grow impressive facial hair. Phanariote rule was marked by political corruption, intrigue, and high taxation, as well as by sporadic incursions of Habsburg and Russian armies deep into Moldavian territory. Nonetheless, they also attempted legislative and administrative modernization inspired by The Enlightenment (such as the decision by Constantine Mavrocordatos to salarize public offices, to the outrage of boyars, and the abolition of serfdom in 1749, as well as Scarlat Callimachi's Code), and signified a decrease in Ottoman demands after the threat of Russian annexation became real and the prospects of a better life led to waves of peasant emigration to neighboring lands. The effects of Ottoman control were also made less notable after the 1774 Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca allowed Russia to intervene in favour of Ottoman subjects of the Eastern Orthodox faith - leading to campaigns of petitioning by the Moldavian boyars against princely policies. Molvanîa is described as a very poor and rural country, heavily polluted and geographically barren. The infrastructure is terrible, with necessities such as electricity, clean water, and indoor plumbing being rare finds, largely due to bureaucratic incompetence. Though the travel guide tries to suggest otherwise, there is little to do in the country, the hotels are tiny, filthy and dilapidated, the ethnic cuisine disgusting, and the "tourist attractions" boring and overpriced. An early mention of a Moldavian naval fleet is found in connection with the rule of Aron Tiranul, who used it to help Wallachian ruler Michael the Brave establish his control over the Chilia branch of the Danube and Dobruja.

LEGO Genetics: Phaic Tănese botanists have apparently managed to graft watermelon with cressantheum and orchids with kidney beans.Rouge Angles of Satin: There are several paragraphs throughout the books clarifying a typo made in a previous edition. For instance, a note on one of the restaurants says that it was described as "appealing" when, in fact, it should have read "appalling". The economic opportunities offered brought about a significant influx of Greek and Levantine financiers and officials, who entered a stiff competition with the high boyars over appointments to the Court. As the manor system suffered the blows of economic crises, and in the absence of salarisation (which implied that persons in office could decide their own income), obtaining princely appointment became the major focus of a boyar's career. Such changes also implied the decline of free peasantry and the rise of serfdom, as well as the rapid fall in the importance of low boyars (a traditional institution, the latter soon became marginal, and, in more successful instances, added to the population of towns); however, they also implied a rapid transition towards a monetary economy, based on exchanges in foreign currency. Serfdom was doubled by the much less numerous slave population ( robi), composed of migrant Roma and captured Nogais.
