The 42 counties of Romania
Romania has 42 counties. This page lists all of them.
The table shows the English name first. The Romanian name is accepted as an answer too, and it appears in the second column.
English names and local names
The quiz shows English names, because that is what most players type. It accepts the Romanian name as well.
Accent marks do not matter. The quiz folds accents before it compares, so a name typed without them still counts.
Abbreviations are not accepted. A short code is ambiguous, and one code often matches the start of another name.
About the counties
A county (județ) is the largest unit of local government in Romania. Bucharest is a separate municipality with county rank.
Most counties carry the name of a river or of their capital city.
The historic regions — Transylvania, Moldavia and Wallachia — group the counties but have no government of their own.
