GEORGIA, a Eurasian country in Asia, is located above Azerbaijan and Armenia. Georgia's northern portion is sometimes considered to be in Europe. This country borders the eastern side of the Black Sea and is north of Turkey and south of Russia. The capital of Georgia is Tbilisi (T'bilisi), which is located in eastern Georgia. Other major cities include Sokhumi, Bat'umi, K'ut'aisi, and Rust'avi. Like T'bilisi, these cities are sometimes spelled without apostrophes. Almost three-fourths (75%) of the population is of the Georgian ethnicity. Other people living in Georgia include Azeris (from Azerbaijan), Armenians, and Russians. The Georgian Orthodox tradition has the most worshippers in Georgia. The currency is the Georgian Lari, and its ISO 4217 currency code is GEL.
