I would like to share a little bit about my country: Romania.
I come from Transylvania, Dracula's house.
As you may know, the Bran Castle was Dracula's house.

I guess that you have heard of sports champions such as the gymnast Nadia Comaneci, the soccer player Gheorghe Hagi and the very famous tennis players: Ion Tiriac, Ilie Nastase and Simona Halep.
Did you know that the first jet airplane was invented by the Romanian Henri Coanda in 1910?
Insulin, the medicine for people who have diabetes was discovered in 1922 by a Romanian, Nicolae Paulescu.
The fountain pen was discovered by Petrache Poenaru in 1827. And my others.
The Transfagarasan is a paved mountain road, making it possible to cross the mountains from Transylvania to Wallachia. Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson visited Romania and filmed on the Transfagarsan in 2009, Season 14, episode 1. He stated that it is the best road in the world.
A interesting feature is the mud volcanoes, they are small shaped volcanoes, only a few meters in size. Mud and natural gas erupts from them. They create a barren surface around them that look like the Moon's surface.
The Palace of Parliament is the second largest administrative building in the world.
