Sooo… it appears to be a county of Moldova? Surely one county doesn’t have that jurisdiction? So why didn’t they just say Moldova?

There are Russian-ish soldiers stationed there and some thousands of ... eh... I think artillery shells? Grenades? Well, weapons are stored not under Moldovian control, essentially acting as a three decade stalemate.

Edit:

18 tanks, 107 APC, 73 field guns, 46 antiaircraft installation, 176 tank destroyer, 1 Mi-8T, 1 Mi-24 (2009)

20,000 t Ammunition (2004)

Noting that the majority of the munitions stored there are 50+ years old and are as unstable as hell.
