# Azerbaijan and Georgia compared Azerbaijan and Georgia side by side: 43 shared sourced indicators across 9 domains, their chronicles record no events of each other. Canonical: https://terralore.co/compare/aze-vs-geo Updated: 2026-08-10 (latest of the two dossiers' refreshes and the two chronicles' verification dates) Two sourced records set beside each other — nothing on this page was written for the pair. Every figure is the same observation, with the same source, as on the two national dossiers; every event is the same record, with the same sources, as on its own chronicle. Figures are compared, never graded. A "—" is an absence in the source data, never a zero; each value shows its own observation year — vintages differ by indicator and nation. ## Formation - Azerbaijan: 28 May 1918 — The Azerbaijan Democratic Republic is proclaimed - Georgia: 1008 — Bagrat III becomes the first king of a unified Georgia ## Economy | Metric | Azerbaijan | Observed | Georgia | Observed | |---|---|---|---|---| | GDP | $74 B | 2024 | $34 B | 2024 | | GDP per capita | $7,284 | 2024 | $9,241 | 2024 | | GDP growth | 4.1% | 2024 | 9.7% | 2024 | | Inflation | 2.2% | 2024 | 1.1% | 2024 | | Trade openness | 82.7% | 2024 | 103.5% | 2024 | ## Society | Metric | Azerbaijan | Observed | Georgia | Observed | |---|---|---|---|---| | Population | 10 m | 2024 | 3.7 m | 2024 | | Life expectancy | 74.6 yrs | 2024 | 74.7 yrs | 2024 | | Urban population | 58.6% | 2024 | 61.1% | 2024 | | Fertility rate | 1.4 | 2024 | 1.8 | 2024 | ## Governance | Metric | Azerbaijan | Observed | Georgia | Observed | |---|---|---|---|---| | Voice & accountability | 30.5 | 2024 | 52.4 | 2024 | | Political stability | 63.5 | 2024 | 55.4 | 2024 | | Government effectiveness | 54.6 | 2024 | 60.2 | 2024 | | Regulatory quality | 57.0 | 2024 | 65.1 | 2024 | | Rule of law | 48.6 | 2024 | 59.5 | 2024 | | Control of corruption | 32.2 | 2024 | 55.6 | 2024 | ## Health | Metric | Azerbaijan | Observed | Georgia | Observed | |---|---|---|---|---| | Health spending | 4.3% | 2023 | 6.9% | 2023 | | Physicians | 3.19 | 2022 | 5.64 | 2023 | | Under-5 mortality | 17.9 | 2024 | 8.6 | 2024 | | Measles immunisation | 71.0% | 2024 | 90.0% | 2024 | | Safe drinking water | 57.8% | 2024 | 70.5% | 2024 | ## Education | Metric | Azerbaijan | Observed | Georgia | Observed | |---|---|---|---|---| | Adult literacy | 99.8% | 2023 | 99.7% | 2024 | | Education spending | 3.7% | 2023 | 4.0% | 2024 | | Primary enrolment | 105.6% | 2024 | 99.4% | 2024 | | Secondary enrolment | 91.1% | 2024 | 101.0% | 2024 | | Tertiary enrolment | 41.3% | 2024 | 89.5% | 2025 | ## Technology | Metric | Azerbaijan | Observed | Georgia | Observed | |---|---|---|---|---| | R&D spending | 0.2% | 2024 | 0.3% | 2024 | | Researchers (per million) | 1,663 | 2024 | 1,896 | 2024 | | Internet users | 90.8% | 2025 | 83.8% | 2024 | | Mobile subscriptions | 110 | 2024 | 161 | 2024 | | High-tech exports | 2.9% | 2024 | 3.8% | 2024 | ## Geography | Metric | Azerbaijan | Observed | Georgia | Observed | |---|---|---|---|---| | Land area | 82,650 km² | 2023 | 69,490 km² | 2023 | | Forest area | 14.1% | 2023 | 40.6% | 2023 | | Agricultural land | 57.8% | 2023 | 34.1% | 2023 | | CO₂ per capita (t) | 3.8 | 2024 | 3.6 | 2024 | | Renewable energy | 1.3% | 2021 | 25.2% | 2021 | ## Resources | Metric | Azerbaijan | Observed | Georgia | Observed | |---|---|---|---|---| | Resource rents | 29.9% | 2021 | 1.4% | 2021 | | Oil rents | 21.0% | 2021 | 0.0% | 2021 | | Mineral rents | 0.3% | 2021 | 1.3% | 2021 | | Forest rents | 0.0% | 2021 | 0.1% | 2021 | | Electricity access | 100.0% | 2023 | 100.0% | 2023 | ## Military | Metric | Azerbaijan | Observed | Georgia | Observed | |---|---|---|---|---| | Military burden | 5.0% | 2024 | 1.9% | 2024 | | Defense spending | $3.8 B | 2024 | $616 M | 2024 | | Armed forces | 82,000 | 2020 | 26,000 | 2020 | Each metric is also ranked across all nations: https://terralore.co/rankings (markdown twins at /rankings/.md).

That is a fact about the two records as they stand, not a gap filled here. ## Sources - World Development Indicators — World Bank · CC BY 4.0 · accessed 2026-06-14 · https://data.worldbank.org - Worldwide Governance Indicators (via World Bank API) — Worldwide Governance Indicators / World Bank · CC BY 4.0 · accessed 2026-08-10 · https://www.worldbank.org/en/publication/worldwide-governance-indicators - Global Health Observatory (WHO, via World Bank WDI) — WHO / World Bank · CC BY 4.0 · accessed 2026-08-10 · https://www.who.int/data/gho - Child mortality & immunisation estimates (UN IGME and WHO/UNICEF, via World Bank WDI) — UNICEF and WHO / World Bank · CC BY 4.0 · accessed 2026-08-10 · https://childmortality.org - R&D statistics (UNESCO UIS, via World Bank WDI) — UNESCO Institute for Statistics / World Bank · CC BY 4.0 · accessed 2026-06-15 · https://uis.unesco.org - ICT indicators (ITU, via World Bank WDI) — ITU / World Bank · CC BY 4.0 · accessed 2026-06-15 · https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-D/Statistics - Military Expenditure Database (via World Development Indicators) — SIPRI / World Bank · CC BY 4.0 · accessed 2026-06-14 · https://www.sipri.org/databases/milex Chronicle references are cited inline above and resolve in full at https://terralore.co/country/AZE/chronicle.md and https://terralore.co/country/GEO/chronicle.md.
