Abkhazia
Located in the northwest of Georgia, at the foot of the Greater Caucasus, Abkhazia is a territory of uncertain status. Officially part of Georgia, it seceded by force in 1992 and today, it is "de facto" an independent territory, with the full support of Russia which has recognized its independence in 2008 and without which it could not live.
