The little nation of Abkhazia unrecognized lies on the East coast of the Black Sea, North of Georgia. Formerly part of Soviet Georgia, it is still not recognized as independent by the international community since its independence war in 1993. It currently homes a population of under 4 million people. In recent years, cryptocurrency mining operations have been erected in abandoned Soviet factories and in people’s home. The troubled power-supply system is now struggling under the increasing pressure of the mining facilities.
