The Federation of Georgia is a country on the Caucasus formed after Doomesday.

Pre-Doomsday
Georgia had been part of the Soviet Union since 1921. It had no major military bases, industrial capitals or administrative importance.

Doomsday
Georgia didn't have a lot of importance in the USSR as a whole, but the cities of T'bilisi and Batumi were destroyed, plus several military bases. Georgia announced its' independence from the USSR on Doomsday in September 25, 1985. At the beggining, it was hard to keep control as massive immigration crossed the borders, and as T'bilisi was nuked. The capital was moved to Kutasi, a strangely spared city, the second most populated on Georgia and the capital of Imereti. Some independist states, Abkhazia, Ossetia and Ajaria , announced independence from Georgia.

Post-Doomsday
On 1998 the government could finnaly manage to re-order the government with a new Constitution, but it was still weak, so the president Eduard Shevardnadze was forced to recognize Abkhasia, Ossetia and Ajaria as independent nations.

In 2003, Shevardnadze (who won reelection in 2000) was deposed by the Rose Revolution, after Georgian opposition and international monitors asserted that the November 2 parliamentary elections were marred by fraud. The revolution was led by Mikheil Saakashvili, Zurab Zhvania and Nino Burjanadze, former members and leaders of Shevardnadze's ruling party. Mikheil Saakashvili was elected as President of Georgia in 2004.

Following the Rose Revolution, a series of reforms was launched to strengthen the country's military and economic capabilities. The new government's efforts to reassert Georgian authority in the southwestern republic of Ajaria led to a major crisis early in 2004.

Mingrelia Independence War
On 2007, the Mingrelian population on Northeastern Abkhazia declared the Republic of Mingrelia. The Georgians quickly intervened on Abkhazia's favour. The war was quick although very bloody. The Mingrelian population was reduced to a 60% than the Mingrelian population before the war. The Georgians made a peace treaty with the Mingrelians: they would be allowed to make a small, autonomous country on the region of Guria, just over Ajaria named Mingrelia.

The Republic of Georgia was then abolished after a constitucional reform, which led to the creation of the Federation of Georgia. The districts of Georgia enjoyed much more freedom under a federation, giving local leaders breathing space on creating local laws. The Federation was also praised for its ability to cope with secessionists by forming two autonomous districts.

Encounter with Siberia
On 2009, Georgia re-established public radio. About at the same time, Siberia sent its first transmitions onto the Caucasus. The Georgians are mantaining contact with them, but their relations are tense as the Caucasians believed that the USSR would reclaim their country. However, Siberia claims that the massive land gap would prevent that. The existance of other nations outside the Caucasus, such as Turkey and Greece.

Geography
The Federation of Georgia is divided into 7 Federated Nations, 2 autonomous nations, and 1 District (Kutaisi).

Culture
Georgian culture evolved over thousands of years with its foundations in Iberian and Colchian civilizations, continuing into the rise of the unified Georgian Kingdom under the single monarchy of theBagrationi. Georgian culture enjoyed a golden age and renaissance of classical literature, arts, philosophy,architecture and science in the 11th century.

The Georgian language, and the Classical Georgian literature of the poet Shota Rustaveli, were revived in the 19th century after a long period of turmoil, laying the foundations of the romantics and novelists of the modern era such as Grigol Orbeliani, Nikoloz Baratashvili, Ilia Chavchavadze, Akaki Tsereteli, Vazha Pshavela, and many others. Georgian culture was influenced by Classical Greece, the Roman Empireand the Byzantine Empire, and later by the Russian Empire which contributed to the European elements of Georgian culture.

Georgia is well known for its rich folklore, unique traditional music, theatre, cinema, and art. Georgians are renowned for their love of music, dance, theatre and cinema. In the 20th century there have been notable Georgian painters such as Niko Pirosmani, Lado Gudiashvili, Elene Akhvlediani; ballet choreographers such as George Balanchine, Vakhtang Chabukiani, and Nino Ananiashvili; poets such as Galaktion Tabidze, Lado Asatiani, and Mukhran Machavariani; and theatre and film directors such as Robert Sturua,Tengiz Abuladze, Giorgi Danelia and Otar Ioseliani.

Architecture and arts
Georgian architecture has been influenced by many civilizations. There are several different architectural styles for castles, towers, fortifications and churches. The Upper Svaneti fortifications, and the castle town of Shatili in Khevsureti, are some of the finest examples of medieval Georgian castle architecture.

Georgian ecclesiastic art is one of the most fascinating aspects of Georgian Christian architecture, which combines classical dome style with original basilica style forming what is known as the Georgian cross-dome style. Cross-dome architecture developed in Georgia during the 9th century; before that, most Georgian churches were basilicas. Other examples of Georgian ecclesiastic architecture can be found outside Georgia: Bachkovo Monastery in Bulgaria (built in 1083 by the Georgian military commander Grigorii Bakuriani), Iviron monastery in Greece (built by Georgians in the 10th century), and the Monastery of the Cross in Jerusalem (built by Georgians in the 9th century).

Other architectural aspects of Georgia include Rustaveli avenue in Tbilisi in the Hausmann style, and the Old Town District.

The art of Georgia spans the prehistoric, the ancient Greek, Roman, medieval, ecclesiastic, iconic and modern visual arts. One of the most famous late nineteenth/early twentieth century Georgian artists is the primitivist painter Niko Pirosmani.

Fauna
Because of its high landscape diversity and low latitude Georgia is home to a large number of animal species, e. g. ca. 1000 species of vertebrates (330 birds, 160 fish, 48 reptiles, 11 amphibians). A number of large carnivores live in the forests, e. g. Persian leopard, Brown bear, wolf, and lynx. The species number of invertebrates is considered to be very high but data is distributed across a high number of publications. The spider checklist of Georgia, for example, includes 501 species. Non-marine molluscs of Georgia also include high diversity.

Religion
The main religion of Georgia is Georgian Orthodox, followed by Armenian and Russian Orthodox, and Sunni and Shi'a Islam. Atheism also is a considerable minority in the religous scene.
