Republic of Georgia in the mid-late 1970s

Georgia covers a territory of 69,700 square kilometres (26,911 sq mi). It is a unitary parliamentary republic, with the government elected through a representative democracy.

By the 1980s, an independence movement was established and grew, leading to Georgia’s secession from the Soviet Union in April 1991. For most of the following decade, post-Soviet Georgia suffered from civil conflicts, secessionist wars in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, and economic crisis.

Georgia is a developing country and ranks 70th on the Human Development Index. The country is a member of the United Nations, the Council of Europe, and the GUAM Organization for Democracy and Economic Development.
