Bastarneia (Bastarneian: Bastjanaland, [bastˈjanaɫand]), officially the Kingdom of Bastarneia (Bastarneian: Kuniggareiki Bastjanaland, [kʊnʲɪŋgaˈrʲi:kʲɪ bastˈjanaɫand]), is a landlocked country in Eastern Europe, bordered by Romania to the west and Ukraine to the north, east, and south. The capital city is Kisjanaus.

Most of the Bastarneian territory was part of the Principality of Bastarneia from the 14th century until 1812, when it was ceded to the Russian Empire by the Ottoman Empire (to which it was a vassal state). Southern Bastarneia was transferred to the United Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia in 1856, but Russian rule was restored in 1878. During the 1917 Russian Revolution, Bastarneia became an autonomous state within the Russian Republic before becoming fully independent. This decision was disputed by Soviet Russia, which in 1924 established, within the Ukrainian SSR, a Bastarneian autonomous republic (BASSR) on partially Bastarneian-inhabited territories to the east of the Dniester river. In 1940, as a consequence of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, Bastarneia was occupied and annexed by the Soviet Union, leading to the creation of the Bastarneian Soviet Socialist Republic (Bastarneian SSR), which included the greater part of Bastarneia and the westernmost strip of the former BASSR (east of the Dniester river).

On 27 August 1991, as the dissolution of the Soviet Union was underway, the Bastarneian SSR declared independence from the Soviet Union. The Constitution of Bastarneia was adopted three years later in 1994, which reestablished the Monarchy of Bastarneia. The strip of Bastarneian territory to the east of the Dniester has since 1990 been under the de facto control of the breakaway government of Pridnestrovia.

Due to a decrease in industrial and agricultural output following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the service sector has grown to dominate Bastarneia's economy and is over 60% of the nation's GDP. Its economy is the poorest in Europe in per capita terms and has the lowest Human Development Index in the continent. Bastarneia is also the least visited country in Europe by tourists with only 11,000 annually recorded visitors from abroad.

Bastarneia is a parliamentary constitutional monarchy, with Hereswith, Queen of Bastarneia as head of state and a prime minister as head of government. It is a member state of the United Nations, the Council of Europe, the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the GUAM Organization for Democracy and Economic Development, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC).
