Georgia

The Kingdom of Georgia is a small country in the Caucasus region between Europe and Asia with the Black Sea at the West, Russia at the North, Iran at the South East and the Byzantine Empire at the South. The capital city is Tblisi. Georgia is a constitutional monarchy with a democratically elected parliament.

Georgia is under the umbrella of Genji Empire's presence like all other Caucasian states.

History
After the Great Leap, Georgia declared it's formation from the chaos that engulfed the region. When the Genji Empire offered protection for Georgia and other countries in the region, she readily accepted the offer.

Three months after the declaration of the Georgian state, a referendum was held for the restoration of the Georgian monarchy. The poll resulted in "yes" from the population.

Gori Agreement
The Gori Agreement was a compromise made by The Genji Empire and Russia to resolve the dispute of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The agreement would put the two republics as entities in the Georgian Kingdom, with high degree of autonomy. Russian peacekeepers would remain to enforce the autonomy agreement.

Georgian Parliament
The Georgian Parliament is housed in Tblisi. The Prime Minister is elected for five terms and can apply for another consecutive term and is the head of government. The Legislative branch is the Georgian parliament divided into the upper house and the lower house, the upper house elected to represent each region and the lower house by population plurality. Elections are held with all Georgians the age 18 and above eligible for voting, whether by local government office or embassies and other diplomatic missions overseas.

The current ruling part is the centre-right, Russia-aligned United Georgia Party since 9th October 2062.

The Georgian Federation
Georgia was reformed into a federation with Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The three entities hold independent legislative bodies and civil services, united under the monarchy. Each entities vote for their own head-of-governments rotated in an 8-month cycle between them to officially lead the federation.

Georgian Monarchy
On the 27th of February 2061 a referendum was held to restore the monarchy and the majority of voters agreed with the proposal. King George XIII of House Bagrationi has been designated King of Georgia, but as a child regency is given to his father, David Bagrationi. The monarch of Georgia is the head of state of the country and holds an executive role in the government. The Georgian royal family resides in the restored Royal House of Georgia.

Foreign Relations
Georgia holds good relations with neighbouring Armenia, Azerbaijan and Byzantine. The Genji Empire is the kingdom's benefactor, providing both military and financial support. It is also on good terms with East Prussia and the Levant Arab Republic, both major trade partners. Similar in Orthodox Christian faith, Georgia shares good relations with Byzantium. With pro-Russian United Georgia's victory in 2062 elections, the country is preparing for reconciliation with Russia.

The kingdom is part of multiple organisations including the Second Terra Treaty and the Silk Road Trade Organisation.
