Georgia is a country located at the crossroads of Asia and Europe. It is located in the region known as the Caucasus. It was a critical location on the old Silk Road that transported goods and people in both directions from ancient times. It is bounded to the west by the Black Sea, to the north by Russia, to the south by Turkey and Armenia, and to the southeast by Azerbaijan.

The unified Kingdom of Georgia reached the peak of its political and economic strength in the 11th–12th centuries.

During the Twentieth century, and in the era of the USSR, it was assimilated into that union, and became an independent country after the break up of the USSR in 1993.

Georgia is divided into 9 regions,1 city (Tbilisi), and 2 autonomous republics (Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia and Autonomous Republic of Adjara). These in turn are subdivided into 72 districts.
