At various times during its history, Romania extended over the following historical regions:
*Transylvania and Partium
**Transylvania proper (incl. Northern Transylvania)

**Crişana (part of the historical Partium region)
**Southern Maramureş (part of the historical Partium region)
*Moldavia
**Moldavia proper (incl. Hertza region)
**Bukovina
**Bessarabia (incl. Budjak)
*Transnistria (divided in Podolia in the north and Yedisan in the south)
*Wallachia
**Muntenia (Greater Wallachia)
**Oltenia (Lesser Wallachia)
*Dobrogea
**Northern Dobrogea (incl. Snake Island)

Some of those regions don't belong to Romania anymore: Southern Dobruja (since 1940), Northern Bukovina (since 1944), the Snake Island (since 1948) and Bessarabia (since 1944). Transnistria belonged only for a short time during WW2 to Romania (from 1941 to 1944).
