Political, economic, cultural situation in the Moldovan region
The Albanian Kingdom of the Caucasus established an administration in the Moldovan region to facilitate its rule. The administration of the Kingdom usually consists of local officials and officials of the Kingdom of Albania of the Caucasus.

Taxes are mainly used to maintain the functioning of the country's army and administrative institutions.
The Albanian Kingdom of the Caucasus introduced land system reform in the Moldovan region. The reform of the land system includes aspects such as the division of land ownership and land use rights.

Under the rule of the Kingdom of Albania, there were significant cultural differences between the local population and Albanian immigrants, which were also manifested in religion, traditional customs, language, food, etc.
Albania is rich in traditional customs and culture, which are not fully adapted to the habits of the local population.
For example, Albanian traditional weddings are usually grand and cost a lot of money to prepare, while local residents prefer simple and simple weddings.
The language barrier between Albanian immigrants and local residents is also a point of cultural conflict. Many Albanian immigrants do not know the local language, and the local population does not necessarily know the Albanian language, which is often a language barrier that leads to communication difficulties and cultural misunderstandings.
The eating habits of Albanians and the local population are also different, for example, dishes popular among the local population may not have much tradition in Albanian culture, and some dishes in Albanian culture may not be popularized among the local population.
Despite the clash of cultures, Albanian and local cultures are constantly merging and communicating. Under the influence of a large number of Albanian immigrants, local architectural styles, art production, clothing, etc. have gradually integrated elements of Albanian culture.
Similarly, in the Albanian cultural tradition, the preferences and traditions of the local population are also integrated, forming a unique cultural style.
