Politics in Abkhazia is dominated by its conflict with Georgia. Abkhazia became "de facto" independent from Georgia after the 1992–1993 war, but its "de jure" independence has only been recognised by a few other countries. Abkhazia is a presidential representative democratic republic with a multi-party system, wherein the President is both head of state and head of government. Executive power is exercised by the government of the Republic of Abkhazia. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the People's Assembly of Abkhazia.
