Guria

Georgia

Guria, a region of Georgia, shares 53 connections with 3308 other places across 14 topics, from Ottoman-era history and Soviet governance to dance, cuisine, and literature. History forms the dominant thread, reflecting centuries of contested rule, including a short-lived peasant self-government, the Gurian Republic, crushed in 1906. Its strongest co-connections are with Abkhazia, Imereti, and Russia. A war dance originated in Guria, grounded in the region's long history of invasion.
