Caucasian nation originated from the dismemberment of the ex Soviet Union, it has a territory almost exclusively mountainous with very beautiful landscapes. It overlooks the Black Sea to west with a discreet coastal development and with a sub-tropical climate, that opposes with that continental and rigid of the Caucasian zone. The ethnic, religious and politics divisions have originated from the independence (1991) to today numerous wars, two coup d'état, actions of terrorism, strong instability, corruption and poverty.A quarter of the population (less than 5 million of inhabitants) lives in the capital Tbilisi. The intense emigration for economic motives has produced an evident decrease of the population.
