Masuno, officially kulupu pi ma Masuno or the Province of Masuno, is a Tokiponist autonomous territory of the Republic of Reggio Argeddina located in the southwestern Western Continent in the -,+ quadrant.
History
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.
On the 28th of June, the lipu pi ma Masuno, the official charter of the community, was signed by Hitobashuru, leader of Masuno, and MrScafuto, the leader of Reggio Argeddina. 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.
Geography
The province lies in the southernmost desert of the Western Continent, stretching across the low-lying, rocky mainland where the capital of 'Omosumo and most of the population is centered, to the red hills of the archipelago of Lojema.
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. The lipu pi ma Masuno guarantees the right of all Tokiponists on the server to seek residence in Masuno.
All of the province's locales and settlements have etymologies derived from Toki Pona, which can be seen on this table;
