Moldova is a Tier II nation in Europe 
. It is rarely played as it is often annexed by 
Russia or 
Ukraine (assuming Ukraine isn't annexed yet and is a player).
Background[]
The Republic of Moldova is a landlocked country in Eastern Europe. It is bordered by 
Romania to the west and Ukraine to the north, east, and south. The capital city is Chișinău.
Most of Moldovan territory was a part of the Principality of Moldavia from the 14th century until 1812, when it was ceded to the 
Russian Empire by the 
Ottoman Empire (to which Moldavia was a vassal state) and became known as Bessarabia. In 1856, southern Bessarabia was returned to Moldavia, which three years later united with Wallachia to form Romania, but Russian rule was restored over the whole of the region in 1878. During the 1917 Russian Revolution, Bessarabia briefly became an autonomous state within the Russian Republic, known as the Moldavian Democratic Republic. In February 1918, the Moldavian Democratic Republic declared independence and then integrated into Romania later that year following a vote of its assembly. The decision was disputed by 
Soviet Russia, which in 1924 established, within the Ukrainian SSR, a Moldavian autonomous republic (MASSR) on partially Moldovan-inhabited territories to the east of Bessarabia.

Strategy[]
Starting Moves[]
- Build 2 electronic factories first then buy the required resources and get factory output 2 and then sell the 46 electronics you get to AI nations once the factories are built. You can also build steel and motor factories, however, since Moldova is unable to create tanks at the start, it is not recommended until you take control of a square city however, you can still do this anyways as well as building a fertilizer factory if you want to obtain
Consumer Goods early on. - Create as much infantry as possible, then build recruitment centers all over Moldova. Developing Moldova is also recommended as well.
Post Starting Moves[]
Your survival is dependent on your actions before the likely event that Russia will attack you. Russia will be occupied on attacking Ukraine in most situations which will give you enough time to invade Romania using the infantry that you have built up. You will also need strong allies that will fight Russia for you in the event of war against Russia. If Russia is deterred from attacking you or your allies have successfully defended you from Russia, then you have a lot of possibilities ahead of you.
