Ma Moku, officially the Akuan Republic of Ma Moku (Toki Pona: Kulupu Jan Aku Ma Moku) is a country on northern Arcturia. It shares a border Alksearia and Phoenixia.

The land of Ma Moku was settled by hunter-gatherers by Kaohlat elves estimated by anthropologists to come from Banteay and Wed Shams though the arrival is heavily debated due to any number of factors. What is known based on prehistoric artifacts, was the early Ma Moku held high reverence for the environment and the abundance of the jungles. The early tribes settled the region, and became one of the first to start farming in the area, developing agriculture before their other Kaohlat counterparts. The agricultural revolution led the way feudalistic society and by the 12th century city-states as well small kingdoms. The small kingdoms developed, for the time advance farming communities. The introduction of Akuan merchants and later settlements in 12th century led to a warm relations led to cultural and religious syncretism. In the 15th century the small kingdoms of Ma Moku unified Jan Suli (Toki Pona: King) Iwar Mama-li-Matijas of the kingdom Ma Telo Suli en Kasi Pimeja (Codexian: The Land of Big Lake and Dark Beasts) notably, without war or direct violence. The events of the 16th century led the way to establishing Ma Moku as a Akuan Democratic Republic, and for most of history tried to act as a neutral actor in the world in a attempt preserve minimalistic way of life.

In the modern day, Ma Moku is still a Akuan Democracy with the Jan Awen Nasin (Codexian: Shrinekeeper) acting as ceremonial and the Jan Lawa Kulupu (Prime Minister) as the head of state. Known for its minimalistic way of life, untouched wilderness and high ratings in democracy, peace, perception of corruption and income equality. It is a member of the Red Crown Economic Union and adopted the Red Krone in mid-2023, after a currency crisis threaten to wreck the economy of Ma Moku. Including concerns of aggression from their neighbors, concerns of neo-imperialism by transnational corporations, and cultural globalization erasing their own identity. Another factor in the country opening up, before joining of the RCEU was the shift in modern politics pushing towards urbanization, industrialization and becoming active member of the international community.
