Location of Georgia
Abkhazia is a self-proclaimed republic of 8,600 km² (3,300 sq.mi.) in the Caucasus. It is a de jure autonomous republic within Georgia, but is de facto independent of Georgia, although the world's countries do not officially recognise it. There are about 157,000-190,000 people (as of 2006) living there. The capital is Sukhumi.
Abkhazia covers an area of about 8,600 km² at the western end of Georgia. The Caucasus Mountains to the north and the northeast divide Abkhazia from the Russian Federation. To the east and southeast, Abkhazia is next to the Georgian region of Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti; and on the south and southwest by the Black Sea.
