Georgia is a rugged land between two Caucasus mountain ranges. Its culture is ancient; Greek myths placed the bound Prometheus on a Georgian peak. The written language dates from the fifth century AD, as does the capital Tbilisi. Queen Tamara presided over Georgia's zenith -a Caucasian empire- from 1184 to 1213, after which Mongols invaded. For centuries a battleground between Turks and Persians, Georgia which was Christian, turned to Russia for protection in 1783, only to be invaded in 1800s. Briefly independent, Georgia came under Soviet rule in 1921. Hydro-electricity, minerals, forestry and agriculture are chief industries. An independent republic was declared in 1991.
