The U.N.'s Statistics Division, which has absolutely no political
axes to grind, considers Georgia (and Armenia and Azerbaycan) to be in
Western Asia.  See http://unstats.un.org/unsd/methods/m49/m49regin.htm

<remark type="outrageous">It's true that culturally Georgia is more
European than Asian, but culturally the U.S. and Canada are more British
than American.</remark>
