South Ossetia - Republic of South Ossetia
South Ossetia is a self-proclaimed republic within the internationally recognized borders of ► Georgia, bordering to ► Russia (► North Ossetia-Alania). Although this former Soviet autonomous oblast (region) has declared its independence and is in de facto control of significant part of the region, its separation from Georgia has not been recognized by any other country and is regarded 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, Tskhinvali region (after the republic's capital).
