The "Hermit Kingdom" has existed on the strategically important Korean Peninsula for a very respectable length of time, and the Korean people have lived there for an unguessable length of time: there is no indication of any minorities or non-indigenous people dwelling among the Koreans. Here may be found: Byeonhan, Ancient Chosun, Gaya Confederation, Geumgwan Gaya, Gija Joseon, Hubaekche, Jin, Jinhan, Karak (Pom Gaya), Mahan, Majin (T'aebong), Parhae, Puyo, Tae Gaya, Tamna, Usan-Guk, the Three Kingdoms (Koguryo, Paekche, and Silla); and the rulers of Korea (Koryo - Chosun - Joseon) from the unification of the Three Kingdoms to the present day.
