Next step: Study up on Georgian history, culture, flora, fauna, exports, crops and geography
[EDIT]
I have recently been informed that, for the purposes of the contest, Georgia is not part of Europe. Ah, well... it was worth a shot. So now I need to decide whether to place it in Turkey or Ukraine. And then find out what those places were like in the eleventh century. Or if they were even there... more when I make my next decision.
