Most Abkhazians live in Abkhazia, an autonomous republic within the Republic of Georgia; since 1993 Abkhazia has been a disputed breakaway state. The Abhkazian economy is based on animal husbandry, household craftwork, and the growing of maize, millet, tobacco, tea, and citrus fruits. Abkhazian culture is centered on the family and family relations, marked by patrilocal residence, patrilineal descent, and strong patriarchal authority. Abkhazians are renowned for extreme longevity.
