The total land area is 33,851km2 the largest part of the nation lies between two rivers, the Dniester and the Prut. 

 

Moldova has a climate which is moderately continental; its proximity to the Black Sea leads to the climate being mildly cold in the autumn and winter and relatively cool in the spring and summer.

Moldova's rich soil and temperate continental climate (with warm summers and mild winters) have made the country one of the most productive agricultural regions since ancient times, and a major supplier of agricultural products in south-eastern Europe.

 

The country has a well-established wine industry. Most of the country's wine production is made for export.

 

The official language of Moldova is Romanian, a Romance language related to Italian, French, Spanish, and Portuguese.
