'''Georgia''' is a country in the [[Caucasus]] just north of eastern [[Turkey]] and south of [[Russia]], other neighbouring countries are [[Armenia]] and [[Azerbaijan]]. It was formerly in the [[Soviet Union]] until given independence in 1991. Georgia's capital is [[Tbilisi]]. Tensions are very high with neighboring Russia over the status of two provinces ([[Abkhazia]] and [[South Ossetia]]). Georgia has sought [[NATO]] membership for protection, but has been turned down. The United States is generally favorable toward Georgia, but does not want the conflicts there to escalate or cause a serious reputure between Moscow and Washington. It was the second country in the world, after [[Armenia]], to adapt Christianity as its state religion in AD 319.
