Bulgaria

From Heterodontosaurus Balls

Bulgaria, officially the Republic of Bulgaria, is a yoghurt making Balkan country in Southeastern Europe. His clay is bordered by 5 other countries, Romania to the north, Greece, and Türkiye to the south, Serbia and North Macedonia to the west, and the Black Sea to the east. His highest peak is a mountain called Musala. His flag is the same of Russia, with the exception of the middle color, whom is murky-bluish green, or simply, murky green, dark green or just "green".

История (History)

In the wake of the Soviet Union's collapse, Bulgaria underwent a seismic shift from communism to democracy in 1990, marked by multiparty elections and the relinquishing of power by the Bulgarian Communist Party. The early 1990s saw Bulgaria adopting a new constitution, joining the United Nations in 1995, and embarking on a path towards European integration. Joining NATO in 2004 and the European Union in 2007 solidified Bulgaria's ties with Western institutions, though challenges persisted, including widespread protests against corruption in 2013 and economic hurdles. Efforts to enhance energy security, such as the South Stream pipeline project signed in 2014, faced obstacles due to EU regulations.

In subsequent years, Bulgaria navigated through political transitions, including coalition governments formed after parliamentary elections in 2017 and 2021, while also grappling with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Despite these challenges, Bulgaria celebrated his 35th anniversary since the fall of communism in 2024, reflecting on his journey as a member of the European Union and his continued efforts to address both domestic and global issues in the evolving landscape of the 21st century.

In March of 2024, Bulgaria, along with Romania, officially joins the Schengen Area, though the borders that were opened up were only sea and air borders.
