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.
