I agree that whenever the city Tbilisi is noted, it should be put in Asian region, whereas mentioning the country, maybe we should put it in Europe, or in Europe and Asia if possible.
OK, to do that, in my next proposed update I'll add a cross reference from the "europe" file to the "asia" file. We already do this sort of thing for Turkey and Russia, two other countries that straddle the boundary between Europe and Asia. I've drafted this change: # Georgia # Please see the "asia" file for Asia/Tbilisi. # Herodotus (Histories, IV.45) says Georgia north of the Phasis (now Rioni) # is in Europe. Our reference location Tbilisi is in the Asian part.
