Is Albania a less developed country?

Situated in SE Europe, Romania is a developing country and a place of interest for many foreigners. In 2007, Romania was accepted as a full EU member state. Romania has made steady economic progress in the past 20 years, after the fall of the communist regime. However, Romania still has to fight against a high level of corruption. Before the World War 2 (WW2) Romania was a wealthy European state, whose economy was mainly based on agriculture. The economic and political situation have changed dramatically after the communists took over power and its new leaders sympathized with the Russian regime at the end of WW2. Nowadays, Romania is working hard to regain its position among the leading European nations. Romania's population totals nearly 22 million people. The official language is Romanian, which is the only Latin language spoken in SE Europe.
