Sakartvelo
This is simplified to the point of being criminal.
Aiight, so the Soviet Union crushes itself under its own weight like an oppressive beached sperm whale. Georgia, formerly a primary tourism location in the Soviet days, is free. It is not entirely together though; within the borders of Georgia are 3 autonomous republics. These are South Ossetia, Abkhazia, and Adjara. These are in large part artificial creations to keep Georgia under control.
Abkhazians make up only about 20% of the population in Abkhazia, yet they dominate the parliament and enjoy much support from the Russians today.
Anyhow, Gamsakhurdia, the son of a famous Georgian writer, takes power. Corruption is rampant. Shevardnadze, one of the former top Soviets, takes power. Corruption is rampant.
In 2003, protests mount and Saakashvili takes power in the bloodless "Rose Revolution." He changes the Georgian flag and promises to move things in a new direction. 6 years later, public opinion in Georgia is largely against him.
