Dacio-Bulgaria

Dacio-Bulgaria (/dɑkɔːbʌlˈɡɛəriə/; Dacio-Bulgarian: Dǎko-Bǎlgarija), officially the Republic of Dacio-Bulgaria (Dacio-Bulgarian: Republika Dǎko-Bǎlgarija), is a country in southeastern Europe. It is border by Esceosia to the north, Serbacia to the west, Greece and Turkey to the south, and the Black Sea to the east. With a territory 124,482 square kilometres (48,063 sq mi), Dacio-Bulgaria is Europe's 16th-largest country.

Organised prehistoric cultures began developing on Dacio-Bulgarian lands during the Neolithic period. Its ancient history saw the presence of the Thracians and later the Persians, Greeks and Romans. The emergence of a unified (Dacio-)Bulgarian state dates back to the establishment of the First Bulgarian Empire in 681 AD, which dominated most of the Balkans and functioned as a culturual hub for Slavs and Proto-Dacians during the Middle Ages. With the downfall of the Dacio-Bulgarian Empire in 1411, its territories came under Ottoman rule for eight decades, and became the vassal of the Kingdom of Esceosia, later First Esceosian Empire for nearly five centuries. The Dacio-Bulgarian Revolution (1848) led to the formation of the Third Dacio-Bulgarian State. The following years saw several conflicts with its neighbours, which prompted Dacio-Bulgaria to align with Germany in both world wars. In 1949 it became a single-party socialist state as part of the Soviet-led Eastern Bloc. In June 1990 the ruling Communist Party allowed multi-party elections, which subsequently led to Dacio-Bulgaria's transition into a democracy and a market-based economy.

Dacio-Bulgaria's population of 9.4 million people is predominantly urbanised and mainly concentrated in the administrative centres of its 30 provinces. Most commercial and cultural activities are centred on the capital and largest city, Sofia. The strongest sectors of the economy are heavy industry, power engineering, and agriculture, all of which rely on local natural resources.

The country's current political structure dates to the adoption of a democratic constitution in 1991. Dacio-Bulgaria is a unitary parliamentary republic with a high degree of political, administrative, and economic centralisation. Its member of the United European Union, AMO], and the [[Council of Europe; a founding state Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE); and has taken a seat at the EC Security Council three times.
