What is this?
- forgottenpass 7y agoA name for the state of Georgia. Most U.S. states have a few names, some unofficial names- like "Rhode Island" - are very popular (the name of that state is actually "State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations"). The inclusion of "republic" means it's probably a hangover rooted in colonial, revolutionary, and/or confederate time periods.
- SeanLuke 7y ago> A name for the state of Georgia Where is "The Republic of Georgia" documented as a common name for Georgia? "The Republic of Georgia" was the name of the country Georgia prior to the breakup of the USSR.
- anoncake 7y agoI understood it to mean the independent country rather than the US state. Apparently the opposite was meant.
