ABOUT GEORGIA

Georgia is a country of Transcaucasia located at the eastern end of the Black Sea on the southern flanks of the main crest of the Greater Caucasus Mountains. It is bounded on the north and northeast by Russia, on the east and southeast by Azerbaijan, on the south by Armenia and Turkey, and on the west by the Black Sea. Georgia includes three ethnic enclaves: Abkhazia, in the northwest (principal city Sokhumi); Ajaria, in the southwest (principal city Batʿumi); and South Ossetia, in the north (principal city Tskhinvali). The capital of Georgia is Tbilisi (Tiflis).

The locals call it Sakartvelo and call themselves Kartveli, which most probably derives from a central region in Georgia – Kartli.

Georgia has almost every type of climate, from subtropical and alpine to semi-desert, but its land is also conducive to agriculture, with 49 different types of soil. This makes the Georgian biosphere one of the most ecologically diverse on earth.

MAP

Georgia is divided into 9 regions, 1 city, and 2 autonomous republics. These in turn are subdivided into 67 districts and 12 self-governing cities. Also, Georgia contains two official autonomous regions – Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The Georgian terrain is largely mountainous, and more than a third is covered by forest or brushwood. The rugged Georgia terrain may be divided into three bands, all running from east to west.

LANGUAGE

CULTURE

The ancient culture of the republic is reflected in a large number of architectural monuments, including many monasteries and churches; Georgian architecture (with Armenian) played a considerable role in the development of the Byzantine style.

Georgian culture was influenced by many outstanding branches — Classical Greece, the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the various Iranian empires, and the Russian Empire. Georgia is known for its folklore, traditional music, dances, theatre, cinema, and art.

CLIMATE
