Who are the Ku? They could very well be an early proto indoeuropean grouping who built an empire in the east. With both Japanese and Indonesians migrating from this Ku empire.
Why are they significant? Because the Ku phonetic is used to refer to goblins, kobolds, gremlins. Linguisticly it is the beginning of a family tree the western peoples regarded as evil monsters who regularly caused trouble.

Is this the empire that was defeated by the Ia uprisings in Albania, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Columbia, Croatia, Estonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Indonesia, et ceter[i]a, ... and Zambia?
Or maybe we're talking about the Land empire that stretches from Iceland and England through Finland, New Zealand, Swaziland, Thailand, and the Soloman Islands.
Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. All named after some dude named Stan.
I don't know who Stan was, but he sure did get around a lot. Maybe he's some kind of culture hero or god king. Maybe he's like their Odin or Zeus.
Stan: definitely the Man.

This might be the empire that protoindoeuropeans use regwos (place of darkness under the earth) to describe slavery or: reg meaning 'to move in straight line' and wos meaning 'you (plural)'.
It might be, but it isn't. It helps that no one except for a few long-discredited Black Athenists think that the protoindoeuropeans used the word *regwos to mean anything at all.
I do, however, have a suggestion. Look up what こく means in the context of country names in the Japanese language. As a hint, that's the Japanese pronunciation of the kanji 国.
Here are some examples:
べいこく
チャドきょうわこく
ちゅうかじんみんきょうわこく
ドミニカきょうわこく
Stan (Old English): stone
Wrong again. Try Persian for "place of." (ـستان)
From Wikipedia:
The Proto-Indo-European root from which this noun is derived is *steh₂- (older reconstruction *stā-) "to stand" (or "to stand up, to step (somewhere), to position (oneself)"), which is also the source of English to stand, Latin stāre, and Greek histamai (ίσταμαι), all meaning "to stand", as well as Pashto تون (tun, "habitat" or "homeland") and Russian стан (stan, meaning "settlement" or "semi-permanent camp"). In Polish, stan means "state" or "condition", while in Serbo-Croatian it translates as "apartment" in its modern usage, while its original meaning was "habitat". In Czech and Slovak, it means "tent" or, in military terms, "headquarters". Also in Germanic languages, the root can be found in Stand ("place, location"), and in Stadt (German), stad/sted (Dutch/Scandinavian), stêd (West Frisian) and stead (English), all meaning either "place" or "city". The suffix -stan is analogous to the suffix -land, present in many country and location names.

I would have gone with stone...dwarf country sounds cooler.
Maybe that's where the Australians got their name from: The Ancient Umpire of Austria.
