This is really cool and well done. I'm unhappy with the stats they chose though. I thought that 20x less robberies seemed unlikely so I clicked their source. They were using the absolute number of robberies not per capita. The way they used it is sneakiness bordering on outright lies. This kind of bad-faith abuse of stats always irritates me.

Care to elaborate on where this website is inaccurate?
Sure, here's my own personal opinion about some of them : -Probably the most spectacular nature in Europe Romania IS a beautiful country (in a old fashion kind of way) but i really double it that anyone who traveled around Europe a bit would say it has "most spectacular nature". Dunno, go to Faroe Island (as a example) and tell me afterwards how "most spectacular" is Transylvania. -The largest number of tech speciali…

#34I like the advertising. I like the timing. But what I like most is that they have the urge to tackle their future. Without any restraints to make jokes about themselves to tackle something else: The backwater stereotypes. This far, I've heard only good things from that area. From people who worked or studied there. What I'd expect but didn't see: Is the tax-system competitive? How about the other performance indicato…

#35I'd totally move to Transylvania. Wonder if I can still work remotely from there... I mean they're only 11 hours ahead of PST.

This is actually the information I missed on their website. Could you elaborate on... ... did you move there from outside of Romania? ... if so, how did you incorporate there? Did you gave your BV/GmbH/Ltd/SA just another address or created a new company there, that then bought 100% of your old shop?
We're from the US and were looking for promising European land. No, we incorporated a brand new company(WELOVEHN SRL) not to hassle with bureaucracy. Which is cool from an administrative point of view. Romanian lawyers seem to be fluent in English and we still maintain a productive collaboration.
Hope your move proves to be a success!

#38Haha.. Funny, I just moved out of there .

#39Let's break down the modern, flashy PR move and check some reality: LGBT rights in Romania (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Romania ) - Decriminalized in 1996 - Gender identity: change of legal sex allowed since 1996 - Discrimination protections: protections since 2000 (still don't national ones in the U.S.) - No marriage - No civil unions - Adoption HAAAHAHAAH cmon be serious LGBT rights in the UK…
It's very easy for an outsider to judge it like that. You can't compare the UK with an ex-communist, very religious country. These things can't really change overnight, it takes a few generations. So yeah, I wouldn't advise any gay people to go to Romania.

I echo that. Also, I'm pretty sure that even in such an "ex-communist, very religious country" there are LGBTs and areas (probably Bucharest) where LGBTs are rather accepted. If de-jure-acceptance instead of just de-facto is a dealbreaker for you I suggest come back in a couple of years/decades :-(
