Having unilaterally declared independence from Georgia in 1992, Abkhazia is formally recognised as an independent state by 6 UN member states (one other state recognised it but then withdrew its recognition), while Georgia continues to claim it as part of its own territory, designating it as Russian-occupied territory.
