Romania wasnt a part of the USSR so theyd be more like the black sheep of the Warsaw pact (the black sheep of the whole eastern bloc would arguably be Albania but for very different reasons)

Edit: Albania was part of the WP at the start (withdrew in 68) but my point stands

And black sheep of the Communist Bloc is Ethiopia or maybe Somalia

The USSR was one country (generally composed of countries formerly in the Russian Empire). The Warsaw Pact was an alliance that included many more countries in Eastern Europe (such as Poland).
