	''Transnistria'', also known as '''Trans-Dniester''', '''Transdniestria''', and '''Pridnestrovie''' is a disputed region in Eastern [[Europe]]. Since the declaration of independence by the de facto local regime in 1990, followed by the War of Transnistria in 1992, it is governed by the '''Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic''' (PMR), which is ~~unrecognised~~ by ~~most~~ nations in the world and none in the EU. This claims the left bank of the river Dniester and the city of Bendery within the former Moldavian SSR. The modern Republic of [[Moldova]] does not recognize the secession and considers PMR-controlled territories to be a part of Moldova's sovereign territory - to reflect this standpoint we categorise Transnistria within [[Moldova]] also.

	The population of Transnistria is somewhat over 500,000 - made up (says a recent survey) of 31% Moldovans, 30% Russians and 28% Ukrainians. The official language is Moldovan (only official in written form in the Cyrillic alphabet), Russian, Ukrainian. English and other mainstream western languages are little spoken. The issue of whether Moldovan (in its spoken form) is the same as Romanian is a matter of fierce dispute.

	Transnistria is located mostly in a strip between the Dniester River and Ukraine. After the dissolution of the USSR, Transnistria declared independence, leading to a war with Moldova that started in March 1992 and was concluded by the ceasefire of July 1992. As part of that agreement, a three-party (Russia, Moldova, PMR) Joint Control Commission supervises the security arrangements in the demilitarized zone, comprising 20 localities on both sides of the river. Although the ceasefire has held, the territory's political status remains unresolved: De jure part of Moldova, Transnistria is a de facto independent state.

	Transnistria is sometimes compared with other post-Soviet frozen conflict zones such as [[Nagorno-Karabakh]], [[Abkhazia]], and [[South Ossetia]]. The latter two - which are recognized only by a select group including [[Russia]], [[Nicaragua]], and each other - have recognised Transnistria as an independent state and plan to establish diplomatic relations (in return for Transnistria's recognition of them). At present it is unlikely that many other countries will join this small club. There are obvious parallels with some situations elsehere in Europe and Asia.

	Transnistria appears to function as a state and mostly has control of its borders, even though these are ~~completely~~ indefensible and cut through towns, villages and fields somewhat at random - it is not simply the case that the river Dniester is the border with (the rest of) Moldova as many outsiders think. There are newspapers, internet, television and most other components of modern life. The travel guide at http://wikitravel.org/en/Transnistria suggests that not all is as simple as the web sites (especially those run or supported by PMR suggest.
