Jaxa (Chinese: 雅克薩; Ukrainian: Якса; Polish: Jaxa, Jaksa; Russian: Якса, romanizedYaksa) was a 17th-century microstate in North Asia with its capital in Albazino existing between 1665 and 1674. It was located on the border of the Tsardom of Russia and Qing China, by the Amur river. Its population was made up of Polish and Ukrainian refugees from the Tsardom of Russia, and the indigenous Evenks and Daurs. It was established from the territory of the Tsardom of Russia in 1665 by Nikifor Chernigovsky and his men, who fled Russia, and existed until 1674 when it was incorporated back to that country.
