Kids Encyclopedia Facts

A mkhare (pronounced "mkha-reh") is like a big region or area in the country of Georgia. Think of it as a large section of the country, similar to a state or province in other places. This word is usually translated as "region" in English.

What are Mkhare?

Georgia is divided into these nine main mkhare to help manage the country. Each mkhare has its own capital city, which is like its main hub. These regions help the government organize things like services, roads, and local rules for the people living there.

How are Mkhare Organized?

Each mkhare is further divided into smaller parts called raionis (pronounced "rye-on-is"). You can think of raionis as districts or counties within each larger region. This system helps keep everything organized, from big regions down to smaller local areas.
