History
Masuno was established 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.
Geography
The province lies in the southernmost desert of the 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.
Language
Masuno is the world's only officially Tokiponist territory, where the language of Toki Pona is predominantly spoken and has official status. Toki Pona is an intentionally simplistic constructed language created by Sonja Lang in 2001, with ~137 key words.
All of the province's locales and settlements have etymologies derived from Toki Pona, which can be seen on this table;
