Whoa, speaking of the bizarre details of the world, Wikipedia reports that in the wake of that war South Ossetia and Abkhazia were recognized as independent republics by Nicaragua and Venezuela.

("The government of one country, the Solomon Islands, listed by the White House as a member of the coalition, was apparently unaware of any such membership and promptly denied it.")
