soc.culture.rep-of-georgia
The Republic of Georgia (Sakartvelo).
Named to distinguish it from the US state — a disambiguation the group performed weekly — it covered Georgian independence, the Abkhazia and South Ossetia conflicts, the Rose Revolution, and a food-and-wine culture the group considered self-evidently supreme.
Georgian-script encoding and transliteration threads made it a small hub for Kartvelian language technology.
