Being in Austria and passing through Germany, where there is discipline and all things are tidy and organized, I got this thought about a very discrete cultural difference that might actually have a very big impact on life, people and all that goes along with them.
Here, but also in other countries, Romania included, smoking is forbidden as in "rauchen verboten", "fumatul interzis", "vietato fumare". In England it's simply "NO smoking". Whereas in most places you can't smoke because someone simply decided you were not allowed to do so, in England there is simply "NO smoking!". There's nobody to stop you, it just doesn't happen.
I'll leave you with the subtleties of this little thought.
