Georgia has predominantly mountainous terrain and high altitude contrasts at small distances. Lowlands are found along the Black Sea coast.

The country’s constitution was adopted in 1995, and it introduced a relatively strong presidential power and a single-chamber parliament with 150 delegates, elected for four years. The president is elected for five years.

During the Soviet period, Georgia had a well-developed business relationship with other Soviet republics. Since independence in 1991, the situation in the country has been aggravated by national strife, mainly in the autonomous regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, and strife within the South Caucasian region. This has resulted in major damage to the country’s infrastructure and the important oil imports from primarily Azerbaijan.

The agricultural sector, with cultivation of, among other things, fruit and tea, are of great importance, while the importance of the obsolete industry has diminished. During the 2010 century, the economic importance of the tourism industry has increased.
