"Real ma pona"

Some tokiponists have suggested creating a physical Toki Pona nation, similar to Lojbanistan and Esperantujo. There was a trend on lipu Wesi of designing national symbols (flags, anthems, etc.) and civil infrastructure (government systems, identity documents, road signs, etc.) based on markers of established civilizations. Mouseless, writing in his website mimuki.net, criticized this notion of a "real ma pona" for its basis in colonialism and patriotism.
