How to buy Skyrim in a country where Steam version is not avaliable and there is no retail?

Question

I'm from Tbilisi, Georgia, and steam says that game is not available for my country. There are no "official" shops here to buy retail. On the nearest Russian online shops I see a notice stating that license is for Russia and countries of the CIS (Georgia is not among them from 2008). So what are my options? How can I get a licensed version of this long awaited game?

Answer

You can get gifted a copy by someone somewhere else over Steam.

You can buy it from somewhere like Amazon.

The game is Steamworks, so it requires Steam to be run on PC. It isn't available to BUY in Georgia perhaps, but it will run (source: I traded countless Russians GTA Complete when it was on sale since it was not available in Russia)
