Masuno was founded on the 23rd of June 2022 by Tokiponist pilgrims originating from [[Pavia]], who set out west in search of a desert land. Following negotiations with local leaders, the settlers decided to establish an autonomous territory in the southeast of the Republic of Reggio Argeddina.
The province lies in the southernmost desert of the [[Geographical Regions (CivMC)|Western Continent]], stretching across the low-lying, rocky mainland to the lofty arid hills of the archipelago of Lojema, where the capital of 'Omosuno lies. ▼

The ''lipu'' demarcates Masuno's borders within Reggio Argeddina, guarantees the right to self-government, and establishes Toki Pona as the official and primary language of the community, among other formalities. The document itself is written singularly in Toki Pona.
