Bulgaria (Bulgarian: България) is a country in Southeastern Europe featured in the Road to the Black Sea DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2.[1][2][3]

Summary

The country is bordered by Romania to the north, Serbia to the northwest, North Macedonia to the southwest, Greece to the south, and Turkey to the southeast. Although a member of the European Union, it is not yet a member of the Schegen Area, as it has border crossings to Romania (a country that is also not yet a member of the Schegen Area) and likely Greece, assuming Greece has been released and Bulgaria has not yet gained full membership of the Schegen Area.

Bulgaria is a medium-sized Slavic country (110,994 square kilometers) bordered by the Black Sea to the east, and Turkey to the south. Its location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia has led it to serve as the staging ground for multiple cultural and strategic shifts over the past centuries and millennia. As the birthplace of the Cyrillic alphabet in 9th century AD, it was also part of the Byzantine and Ottoman empires, and then the Soviet-led Eastern Bloc, before finally becoming an independent parliamentary republic in 1991. Relics of this amalgamation of cultures can still be seen throughout the country as you drive along its winding country roads, bustling cities, and serene coastal roads.
