All the glaciers have melt, the sea rose by 70 m. Now that București is underwater, what is the new capital of Romania, provided the country stil exists as it today ? Where would the capital city be, what would be its name ? Any new independant regions? Be creative ! no limit.

1. Everything old is new again: [Targoviste](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C3%A2rgovi%C8%99te#Capital_of_Wallachia)

3. Probably Alba Iulia makes the most sense.

   Unfortunately, the primary reason for that to not be the case is the current state of Alba Iulia.

4. Make Pitesti Great Again!

5. Putem observa superioritatea altitudinala muntoasa carpatina a României 💪🇷🇴

6. So you’re saying global warming would cut down the commute from Bucharest to Constanța by 100%?

7. Slobozia

9. Wdym? You can clearly see in the map most of the city is not under water, if anything it would still be Bucharest since now it has a port lol.

   If the capital would be changed it will likely be Brasov or Cluj.

10. I don’t want to be that guy, but Bucharest looks 50% intact, and the important bits are still on dry land, and, if needed, you expand a little in the north and west, add a port in the south-east then boom, you got yourself a capital that doubles as a port

11. Historically speaking it should be Iasi, however I believe Cluj or Timisoara would make more sense

12. Finally, Cluj becomes the true capital of Romania 🤩

13. We would adopt Caracal as the capital we deserve.

14. Buzău will take its rightful place

15. Not all of bucharest will be sunk, it would be a great port city
