Jeuna, officially the Republic of Jeuna (known in Chinese as 媛華共和国; Pinyin: Yuánghua Gònghéguó) is a country in East Asia. It is bordered to the north by Russia, to the west by the People's Republic of China, to the south by North Korea and to the east by the Sea of Japan.

Etymology

Jeuna is usually known as Yuánguó (Chinese: 媛国) in Mandarin Chinese. The first character, 媛, means 'a beauty', while the second character, 国, means 'state' or 'country'. Christian missionaries originally translated the name as 'Beautiful Kingdom'.

The origin of the English construct 'Jeuna' may have come from two sources. The first is that 'Jeuna' was derived from Sanskrit Jun, which referenced the Jin Dynasty that ruled the area. Traders on the Silk Road may have identified themselves as such. The other possibility is that 'Jeuna' is a corruption of the original name, Yuánghua.

Ancient

Jeuna's history stretches back as far as the fifth century, when it was first known to be inhabited by such people as the Xianbei, the Mohe, and the Khitan. The eastern portion of Jeuna was ruled by kingdom of Bohai between the 7th century and 10th century. The Wikipedia:Jurchen Jin Dynasty (1115-1234) that subsequently ruled much of northern China arose within the borders of modern Jeuna.
