The Black Sea Region is the group of countries bordering the Black Sea, comprising Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Russia and Georgia, straddling the boundary between Europe and Asia. Long a crossroads of Greek, Ottoman, Russian and Slavic influence, the region today is bound by shared maritime trade, energy pipelines and post-Soviet geopolitics, and is distinct from the Black Sea itself, which the atlas holds as its own body-of-water entity.
