位於喬治亞境內、靠近黑海的一個未經廣泛承認實體。1991年蘇聯解體，阿布哈茲不想繼續待在喬治亞內，便引發1992年的阿布哈茲戰爭，造成大量人道危機。2008年在俄羅斯軍隊幫助下驅逐境內所有喬治亞勢力，從此完全掌控所有領土。目前只有俄羅斯、尼加拉瓜、委內瑞拉、諾魯、敘利亞，以及同樣身為未經廣泛承認實體的南奧塞提亞、聶斯特河沿岸、阿爾察赫承認其主權地位，國際普遍認為還是喬治亞的自治共和國。經濟嚴重仰賴俄羅斯，大約有一半的國家預算來自俄羅斯援助，曾是俄羅斯人的度假天堂。

Year Founded: 1992

Abkhazia is an entity with limited recognition located within the borders of Georgia and close to the Black Sea. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, unwilling to remain an oblast of Georgia, Abkhazia waged the Abkhazia War in 1992 which caused a tremendous humanitarian crisis. In 2008, with the help of Russian armed forces, all Georgian forces were driven out of the area and the Abkhazians have since gained full control of the territory. Currently only recognized by Russia, Nicaragua, Nauru, Syria, and other entities with similarly limited recognition including South Ossetia, Transnistria, and Artsakh; internationally, it is still considered part of the Autonomous Republic of Georgia. Half of its national budget is dependent on Russian aid and much of the rest of its economy is also dependent on Russia. Abkhazia was once a semi-tropical paradise for Russian tourists.
