Georgia, a country in the Caucasus region, boasts a rich history dating back to ancient civilizations like Colchis and Iberia, known from Greek mythology. Christianity became the state religion in the 4th century, shaping its unique identity. The Bagrationi dynasty's rule witnessed a flourishing of Georgian culture. However, Georgia faced invasions by Mongols, Persians, and Ottomans. It was annexed by Russia in the 19th century and later became part of the Soviet Union. Post-independence in 1991, Georgia struggled with civil unrest and conflicts with separatist regions but is transitioning to democracy and seeks closer ties with the West. Its population of 3.7 million primarily consists of ethnic Georgians, with Christianity as the dominant religion. The Georgian language, one of the world's oldest, is widely spoken alongside Russian. Geographically, Georgia is diverse, with the Caucasus Mountains and Black Sea coastline. Economically, it's transitioning to a market economy with agriculture, tourism, and manufacturing as key sectors. Culturally, Georgia is rich in Christian art and architecture, with unique traditions in frescoes, enamel jewelry, and metalwork. Georgian cuisine, including dishes like Khachapuri and Khinkali, reflects the country's location on the spice route.
