Map: Georgia in 1992, its borders in gold among its neighbours
Georgia in 1992, when it held the most ground the borders dataset draws for it: 68,700 km². Its neighbours wear their tints, as on the atlas's own map. Borders from Cliopatria (CC BY 4.0), coast and rivers from Natural Earth, cities from Reba, Reitsma & Seto 2016 (CC BY 4.0), each city under the name it bore that year.

7 rulers, 7 with terms dated as terms, covering 1991 – 2024. Only 33 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 1 of 8 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. The violent-handover count is withheld: power changed hands so often that any rising falls beside one (exposure 1.00, limit 0.6). A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.

Heads of government

The line of Prime Minister of Georgia, drawn and never measured: a cabinet is not a reign.

What happened within it, by century

Every row the atlas hosts under this state, by the century it began in: wars and battles in red, risings, regime changes and massacres beside them, everything else in grey. A tall bar is a century the record is full for, which is partly a fact about Wikipedia.

  • The most ground it held68,700 km²

  • Rulers on record7

    has more rulers on record than 73% of 1,968 states with a line of rulers.

What led to it, and what came of it

The investigation's own picture: 17 causes the record names and 0 results, the strongest six of each at their own years, joined to the state by the kind of claim - a recorded statement solid, the article's sentence dashed, a theory dash-dot.
