"Real ma pona"
Some tokiponists have suggested creating a physical Toki Pona nation, similar to Lojbanistan and Esperantujo. Around 2022, there was a trend on lipu Wesi of designing national symbols (flags, anthems,[citation needed] etc.) and civil infrastructure (government systems,[citation needed] identity documents,[citation needed] road signs,[citation needed] 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.[1]
