Transnistria, the land of mysteries and contradictions, or as some call it, “the country that exists but doesn’t.” In this self-proclaimed independent state, things are done a little differently.

For starters, they’ve got not one, not two, but three official languages! It’s like they took multilingualism to a whole new level, just to keep you guessing which one you’ll need next.

Now, if you’re ever lost in Transnistria, don’t worry, because their road signs are more like riddles. You’ll need some true Sherlock Holmes skills to decipher their hidden messages.

And let’s not forget their currency – the Transnistrian ruble. You won’t find it on any international currency exchange, but that doesn’t stop them from printing it like there’s no tomorrow.

In Transnistria, they’ve got the world’s most stubborn flag, a hammer and sickle right in the middle, showing their love for all things Soviet.

And if you’re a football fan, you might have heard of FC Sheriff Tiraspol, the football team from this self-proclaimed nation that somehow manages to compete in international competitions, adding another layer to the enigma that is Transnistria.

And don’t even think about bringing your own booze to a bar. In Transnistria, they take their alcohol control quite seriously. You can only drink what they serve you.

So, if you’re ready for a dash of linguistic confusion, some cryptic navigation, a generous serving of Soviet nostalgia, and maybe even a football match with FC Sheriff, Transnistria is here to welcome you with a sardonic smile and a ruble that’s worth its weight in, well, not much. PMR⚽
