Georgia is a relatively small country in terms of population: about 4.5 million people live in it. However, the population of this state is characterized by significant ethnic diversity.

According to the Georgian National Bureau of Statistics, as of the beginning of 2014, the total population of the country amounted to 4, 490.5 thousand people. Most of this number traditionally lives in the capital of the country - Tbilisi. According to the same date, the number of people living in Tbilisi amounted to 1175.2 thousand people: thus, the share of residents of the capital in the total population of the state reached 26.17%.
At the same time, Georgia is an example of a country which, unlike many European states, is characterized by an increase in the population, although not very intense. So, according to the results of 2014, it increased in comparison with 2013 by 0.14%. In relation to 2010, when the number of residents of Georgia was 4436.4 thousand people, the number of residents of the state in 2014 increased by 1.22%.
