Poeja, officially the Autonomous National Republic of Poeja (Hankoel: 부여자치공화국, Chinese: 民族自治共和國夫餘, Rusisan: Автономная национальная республика Буйе), is an subnational state under Russia. It is bordered by Corea to the south and China to the west. It was originally established as a puppet state of the Corean until it was ceded to Russia in the Treaty of Hansjang.
History
Premodern history
He Mosoe (해모수) founded the Poeja state around the same time as when the Western Han dynasty was established. China and Poeja maintained a good diplomatic relationship for centuries, with few conflicts in between. For 300 years after 200CE, Poeja faced attacks from nomadic tribes and their fellow Coreanic state, Ko-korjo. The state collapsed in 500CE, leaving behind several fragmented successor states. Migrants from Poeja migrated south and founded Pekdje, mixing with the peninsular Han people.

The ancient Poejan dialects
Poeja and other north Coreanic states spoke the Poeja languages, a group of close dialects that were related to the dialects of the southern Coreanic states. With the migration of the Poeja people south, these dialects mixed with their relatives to form Old Corean. The Manchu language has also been seen to have lasting influences from the Poeja languages and the Palhe language.
Corean dialects
Born of the Rjoekdjin and Hamgjang dialects, the modern Poeja and Yodong dialects of Corean contain influences from Manchu, Mongol, Mandarin, Dutch, and Russian. With the fall of the Sjakwang dynasty, these speakers coalesced around northern Corean cities like Kemo and Anboek, eventually bringing them closer to peninsular Corean dialects.
