Ținutul Prut

Ținutul Prut was one of the ten Romanian ținuturi ("lands"), founded in 1938 after King Carol II initiated an institutional reform by modifying the 1923 Constitution and the law of territorial administration. It comprised parts of central Moldavia (and central Bessarabia), and was named after the Prut River; its capital was the city of Iași. Ținutul Prut ceased to exist following the territorial losses of Romania to the Soviet Union and the king's abdication in 1940.

Coat of arms

The coat of arms is party per cross in nine equal squares, representing the former nine counties (județe) of Greater Romania (71 in total) which it included. The four of the squares forming the arms of the cross are of argent; all other squares are gules. The four argent squares bear a sable aurochs head (the symbol of Moldavia - see Flag and coat of arms of Moldavia).

Former counties incorporated

After the 1938 Administrative and Constitutional Reform, the older 71 counties lost their authority.

gollark: Neat.
gollark: Not even that, I mean that most modpacks will probably have a few machines which, say, magically materialize ores from the void.
gollark: So you mostly just sell to new players for funlolz or buy/sell items which are hard/annoying to make somehow.
gollark: Anyway, in average modded things I think you don't really get much of a complex economy because you can make everything yourself using a succession of magic boxes.
