There is a deep cultural and historic link between the countries of Romania and Moldova. They have, in the past, been partially united and the Moldovan language and the Romanian language are, in fact, identical (though there is a Moldovan Russian language). As such the flags of two countries are very similar. The flag of Moldova was created in 1990, and is based on the Romanian flag design. Indeed, the reverse side differs from Romania's only in proportion.
