It is governed by the Populist Iron Guard movement. It is usually called Iron Guard Romania.

History
Following Peace of Paris, concluding the Crimean War (1853 - 1856), the unification of Moldavia and Wallachia was expressly forbidden. However, due to a quirk in the procedure, Ioan Alexandru Cuza was elected Domnitor in both principalities, thus becoming first Prince of the United Principalities (1859 - 1866), to be followed onto the throne by Karl Eitel Friedrich Zephyrinus Ludwig von Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen (1866 - 1914), after a coup staged by the so called "Monstrous Coalition". After the 8th Russian-Turkish War 1877/78, which saw Romania fighting alongside Russia, the country's sovereignty was recognized on the Berlin Congress of 1878. Southern Bessarabia was ceded to Russia, while Romania gained Dobrogea.
In 1881 the Romanian Prince took the title of King Carol I. The orientation towards the West was secured, Russian influence lost its appeal. Carol I settled the Second Balkans War (1913) and joined the Quadrilateral with Dobrogea. With the outbreak of the Weltkrieg in 1914 Romania initially remained neutral, but joined the Entente in 1916, after Carol's successor, Ferdinand I ascended to the throne, only to be overrun in a few months by Bulgaria and Austria. In 1918 the government was forced to sign the Treaty of Bucharest, handing over the whole of Wallachia and Dobrogea and areas of the Carpathian peaks, as well as guaranteeing to supply Germany and Austria with oil for the following 90 years.
The treaty was never ratified and by the end of the Weltkrieg, a new treaty consisting of milder terms was drawn. Romania ceded Oltenia to Hungary and Southern Dobruja to Bulgaria. Romania was allowed to keep Bessarabia from the remnants of the Russian Revolution, but the oilfields were leased to Germany until 2012. The king and government managed to stagger on until 1929, when Corneliu Codreanu led the right wing Iron Guard in a coup d'etat, supported by the army. A military dictatorship, headed by Codreanu, was set up and began to remilitarize Romania. This invalidated the leasing of the oilfields to Germany and thus Romanian industry could benefit once again from cheap oil.
