I don’t think it should exist, it’s an artifact of the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The Moldovan border made sense then, it doesn’t make sense now. I’m Romanian and even i think it should just be reincorporated back into Russia. Preferably not as an exclave like Kaliningrad but as part of a contiguous Russian Black Sea coast once they retake Odessa. The Dniester is a good natural border between Russia and Romania. In exchange for Moldova (or a future united Romania-Moldova) giving up claims to it the Russians should give the Moldovans everything currently Ukrainian that is west of the river, aka the Budjak. Honestly they would come out ahead, Pridnestrovie is much more industrially developed than the Budjak which is frankly mostly empty steppe wasteland.
The one thing i know for sure is it can’t be Ukrainian, the people living there are clearly Russian and want nothing to do with Ukraine, especially this Nazi Ukraine that wants to erase everything Russian from existence.
It has a reason to exist and it is somewhat functional as an anti-imperialist “outpost”, i think that under a certain lense it’s a good example to showcase the “independence for me but not for thee” western approach to non-western aligned separatism. Highlighting the media treatment of transnistria compared to the one of places like Kosovo is at least somewhat useful in certain debates.
This said, it’s essentially a corporatocracy. The power belongs to industrial conglomerates like Sheriff and the president is whoever them and russia can agree upon. It’s not really a desireable form of government.

Bonus points for the flag tho
I don’t know enough to have an informed opinion
Best flag in Europe and I can’t believe that trans got the whole country while aces get nothing😭
we could start with a micronation of sorts
Fr, at least republic
Not communist but anti-imperialist alligned and I hope they will continue existing
Seem like cool people who never accepted the dissolution of the USSR. Transnistria is the NATO word though, they call themselves Pridnestrovie
They have a cool flag
SHERIFF TIRASPOL NUMBER ONE
An understandable existence. I hope they and Moldova can reach a permanent agreement in the future.
