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).

Every entry has an introduction section in English. If other languages are native and/or official in an entity, introductions in other languages are added in separate sections. The text of the introduction(s) is based on the content of the Wikipedia encyclopedia. For sources of the introduction see therefore the Wikipedia entries linked to. The same goes for the texts in the history sections.
Historical maps are included in the continent, country and dependency entries.
The status of various entities is disputed. See the content for the entities concerned.
The maps of former countries that are more or less continued by a present-day country or had a territory included in only one or two countries are included in the atlas of the present-day country. For example the Ottoman Empire can be found in the Atlas of Turkey.
