South Ossetia is a region in the Caucasus. While Russia, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Nauru do recognize South Ossetia as an independent state, the remaining countries regard it as a part of the Republic of Georgia. Since the end of the Russo-Georgian War in 2008 South Ossetia, along with Abkhazia, could achieve greater sovereignty.
