Why Transylvania might be annoying:

    It has been know by many different names during its history; Ardeai, Erdeley, Sienbenburgen and Translethiani. The Romans called it Ultra Silvans which meant in Latin, 'Beyond the Forests' which still serves as a kind of national nickname.
    It has been invaded and conquered and occupied so many times that the ethnic origins of its peoples is not entirely clear.
    It didn't have its first census until the 19th Century.
    Through the centuries to the present day there has been considerable conflict between the various ethnic groups that make up its population.

Why Transylvania might not be annoying:

    Dracula was from there!
    It is believed to have been occupied by humans since at least 30, 000 BC.
    It has the largest population of brown bears in Europe.
    It has a large mining industry due to its deposits of (among other items) iron, gold, copper and natural gas.
    Its castles, (including the real life Dracula's Castle) churches, and numerous hot spring resorts make it a popular tourist destination.
    It has legal, roadside, liquor stands.
    It peacefully joined the country of Romania.
