A corrupt country with plenty of laws but which are laxly applied, it offers enough freedom and opportunity to still allow innovation and creation.
While the old, Western Europe is busy making up rules and barriers against much envied high-tech US successes, in Romania the American dream is still alive. While unions and never ending worker rights suffocate private initiative in the West, in the East meritocracy is still a thing (when not subsumed by corruption).
And while the West sees the Internet as a dangerous medium that must be reined and brought under control, at the edge of the Empire it is still seen as a Wild West, a land of opportunity where anybody can stake his ground and make his money. Sometimes that means scams and malware but sometimes something good may come up.
Because you can't have one without the other - you can't have reward without the risk. The more you try to control, the more you try to pacify, the less success and peaks you have. The more rules and regulations you impose, the less innovation and creation you get.
