How should one distinguish Georgia as U.S. State vs. eastern European country?

It’s one of the few contextual proper names I’ve not ever seen have to be differentiated, though it seems it would need to be when speaking to a global audience.

For that matter, as an author, under what circumstance should you need to differentiate, if all audience is global?

Is it adequate to assume that since Google filters and has been filtering content by language for years, that Georgia in search results and relevant pages is almost always the Georgia they seek?

A bit off-topic but I recently wrote a blog post about how you could get historical online published news articles:

Watch out because this site has links to hundreds of other newspapers too dating back to the 1700s. I made the mistake of checking one of them out yesterday and lost the next four hours of my day reading about historical events. Really amazing stuff.

It’s interesting to see the difference in how African Americans were depicted and covered.

It is well-known that the “white” press of that time often demonized its black citizens and escalated tensions that helped prolong the period of white terrorism, voter suppression and lynching throughout the Reconstruction period.

This sadly continues even today both in the US (to a lesser degree) and internationally.

We see similar treatment of minorities in the Chinese press (Hong Kong residents, Uyghurs) and in the US conservative press about migrants and immigrants.

Reading through the front pages, one would never know this was an ‘African American’ newspaper, as it is no different from any other. It is quite racist to even mention that fact that it is ‘African American’.

AI is going to take over the world they say, but we still don't have an easy to use and free high end OCR available.

Australia's Trove is getting humans to translate them‽ - https://trove.nla.gov.au/help/become-voluntrove/text-correct...

Anyway, very cool, the world needs more of these out of copyright newspapers online. History has been lockup up by historians for to long.
