| GEORGIA |
The province of Abkhazia to the north-west of Georgia has been administered by Abkhaz rebels since 1993. The northern area South Ossetia is under the control of warlords. After a short war between Russia and Georgia in 2008 these areas have been recognised as sovereign states by Russia and a small number of other states.
