Georgia is a state in the South Caucasus[6] located on the eastern shore of the Black Sea. It borders Russia to the north, Turkey and Armenia to the south, Azerbaijan to the southeast, and the Black Sea to the west. The country covers an area of 69,700 km² and has a population of 3,688,647. Its capital is Tbilisi.
Geographically, it is considered part of Western Asia[2] or a transcontinental country, given that its northern regions are crossed by the Greater Caucasus divide, one of the conventional lines separating Europe and Asia.
Politically, historically, and culturally, it is often considered to belong to the Eastern European area.
Known since classical times as the kingdoms of Colchis and Iberia, and the seat of a national kingdom in the Middle Ages with a distinct culture, language, and religion from its neighbors, Georgia was annexed by the Russian Empire in the early 19th century.
After a brief period of independence following the Russian Revolution of 1917, Georgia was occupied by the Red Army in 1921, becoming the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic and part of the Soviet Union.
In 1991, it proclaimed its independence, which was formally recognized on December 25 of the same year.
