Visitor visa refusal rate for Georgia nationals

The State Department publishes refusal rates by nationality, counting applicants at every post, not by post. A refusal is what applicants usually call a visa rejection. This is the rate for nationals of Georgia wherever they applied, not a rate for Tbilisi.
