Surprise about Abkhazia

Well, there are small countries called Georgia (Capital Tbilisi) and Moldova that I read about in current affairs a long time back. What I did not know was that there are three breakaway provinces (?) now converted into countries, recognized by very few other countries in the world.
These are:
Abkhazia (Capital: Sukhumi)
South Ossetia (Capital: Tskhinvali)
Transnistria (Capital: Tiraspol)
I'm sure if I delve deeper I shall find that there are more such little breakaway regions.
It's amazing though what you pick up everyday though isn't it?
