  • Population: 440,000
  • Aspects: Stable, Third Wave

Abkhazia was originally the northwestern corner of the Soviet republic of Georgia. It went with the rest of the republic during the breakup of the Soviet Union, but the local population was ethnically distinct and reluctant to remain under central control. Several attempts at independence were violently quashed by the Tblisi government, until a peace accord was reached in 2013. Today Abkhazia is nominally independent, but is actually a Russian client state. It lags behind the rest of Georgia and is at an early Third Wave level of development.
