Also know as Turkey? Really. Rum means Rome. It was the land of the Romans. |

'''Rumelia''' ({{lang-ota|روم ايلى}}, ''Rūm-ėli''; {{lang-tr|Rumeli}})
Owing to administrative changes between 1870 and 1875, the name ceased to correspond to any political division. [[Eastern Rumelia]] was constituted as an autonomous province of the Ottoman Empire by the [[Treaty of Berlin (1878)|Treaty of Berlin in 1878]]. Today, in [[Turkey]], the word ''Trakya'' ([[Thrace]]) has mostly replaced ''Rumeli'' (Rumelia) when referring to the part of Turkey which is in Europe (provinces of [[Edirne Province|Edirne]], [[Kırklareli Province|Kırklareli]], [[Tekirdağ Province|Tekirdağ]], the northern part of [[Çanakkale Province]] and the western part of [[Istanbul Province]]), though Rumelia remains in use in some historical contexts.
