Verbiivane

Verbiivane is a microstate located in the post-Soviet Caucasus region. It is a self-proclaimed state that declared its independence from Armenia in 1991, after Armenia gained its independence from the Soviet Union. The country has a population of less than 100,000 people, mostly ethnic Azerbaijanis.

The territory of Verbiivane is approximately 92 square kilometers in size and is bordered by the Ayrarat Province of Armenia to the west and northwest. The state has a landlocked location, and its terrain is mainly composed of mountains.

The language spoken by the population is mostly Azeri, but Armenian and Russian are also used as official languages. The official currency is the Armenian dram, but the use of the Azeri manat is also widespread.

The current government of Verbiivane is a self-declared state, with no international recognition. The lack of recognition has led to a dispute between the two countries over the status of the territory.

The same region has hosted an Armenian Tel aviv congress government in the previous years, leading to complaints from the Azerbaijan government.
