English South Ossetia - Republic of South Ossetia

South Ossetia is a self-proclaimed republic within the internationally recognized borders of Georgia, bordering on Russia (North Ossetia-Alania). Although this former Soviet autonomous oblast (region) has declared its independence and is in de facto control of a significant part of the region, South Ossetia's separation from Georgia has been recognized[3] only by Russia, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Nauru, the partially recognized country of Abkhazia, and the unrecognized country of Transnistria and is regarded as a de jure part of the Georgian region (mkhare) of Shida Kartli. Georgia does not recognise South Ossetia as a distinct entity, instead referring to it by either the medieval name of Samachablo or, more recently, the Tskhinvali region (after the republic's capital).
