Transylvania

"Oh crap! Now Transylvania has been turned into a socialist republic, that is ruled by vampires! It's the communist era of Romania all over again... except it's vampires. Darn it!"

--Su Ji-Hoon, Ceaușescu Returns

Transylvania is a historical region in today's central Romania. Bound on the east and south by its natural borders, the Carpathian mountain range, historical Transylvania extended westward to the Apuseni Mountains. The term sometimes encompasses not only Transylvania proper, but also the historical regions of Crișana and Maramureș, and occasionally the Romanian part of Banat.
