If the Americans had done the right thing and called it New Georgia to follow the pattern that was started with Hampshire, York and Jersey we wouldn't be having this problem. Nobody complains about the name South Georgia except perhaps the Argentinians.
The other alternative might be the Greek solution of using FSRG (Former Soviet Republic of Gerogia). :-)
Actually, on reading [[Georgia (country)]], one learns that the Georgian name for their own nation in their own language is not Georgia at all but something quite unrelated. Clearly the solution is to place the article at [[Sak'art'velo]] and move the issue to a /different/ flamewar.
