Georgia Is a Country — There Is No "Largest Country in Georgia"

A Geographic Category Error

Georgia is a country. It is not a region containing other countries. Therefore, the question "What is the largest country in Georgia?" is based on a false premise — like asking "What is the largest country in France?"
