Georgia was a thriving nation but was soon destroyed by Russia in a war that was supposed to be over South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Russian forces overrun the country and by the end of August it was composed of only what used to be the South-eastern area of the country. In 10 September, Russian troops left the nation, but it was re-invaded 23 September. It was then conquered by Russia in 14 November, along with Armenia and Azerbaijan.
