Transnistria is a country who officially doesn't exist, it is a kind of relic of the soviet union, a tragic end game of Josef Stalins chess game in the 1940s.. It all goes back to when Hitler and Stalin deiced to tear up parts of East Europe, before Hitler invaded Soviet in 1941 - and they deiced just to take land from some country's, and turn the taken land into something else...

For the most part it ended in country's, or republics who survived the cold war in a fashion - but Transnitria is one of this relics who never got to be a nation, but where the shadows of Russia and Stalin is still clearly for everyone who know their history...


And it is correct- Transnitria is hellhole of a country - a country who is not a country - but where you can get anything you want - as long as you have the money to buy it with... Rather scary if you ask me... And even after more than 20 year, it doesn't look like the place is empty of weapons, as most of the soviet army weapons - from rifles to hewy artillery was just laying around in the arsenals... And as the country was never accepted as a nation, one of the primary nations to it to survive, was by smuggling weapons to everyone who needed it.. And could pay of it.
