The Kingdom of Georgia (Georgian: საქართველოს სამეფო, romanized: sakartvelos samepo; Persian: پادشاهی جورجیا), also known as the Georgian Empire, is a feudal monarchy situated in the Caucasus region between Western Asia and Eastern Europe. At it's height in the 15th century under Shahanshah Bagrat V, Georgia would extend from Western Anatolia to the Indus river, subjecting nearly 10,000,000 peoples and establishing one of the largest Eastern Christian empires since the decline of the Byzantine Empire.
