Question..

How would you say Samoria in Russian? It's pronounced Sam-or-ee-uh...

I was thinking is was CAMЙPИЯ... is this right?

I don't know for certain, but if it's 'or', I'm a little confused as to why you chose й instead of о. I would probably write it as Самория, but I'm pretty much guessing in the dark.

Correct spelling should be САМОРИЯ. "Й" is not necessary.
"Й" is used mostly for "Y": e.g. Arroyo - Арройо. Kebaya - кебайя
