Kingdoms beyond Equestria · 1:06am Nov 21st, 2020

Thestralia, the homeland and Kingdom of the Thestrals. The planet's equivalent to Earth's Australia.
Based on Thestrals (Bat Ponies) and Australia.

Kiwaniland, home of the Kiwis. The planet's equivalent to Earth's New Zealand.

Based on Kiwis (the bird, fruit and its people) and the Kiwano (a horned melon grown in New Zealand).

Nice to see I started something :rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

Thestrals I get, but why Kiwis? Not that 9I dislike it, but just curious.

Because Kiwis are the native bird of New Zealand? :facehoof: :ajbemused:

Thats not what I meant. I know Kiwis are the native birds, but WHY put Kiwis in equestria? Therstrals ain't a random concept cuz it has at least SOME connection to the world, so it makes sense to use its name for Australia, for it's name similarly.
But Kiwis just feels... random, and ordinary, ya' know? If you combined some mystical creatue's name thats similar or related to the country, or just used the mystical creature's name itself and turn it in to a country name, than it would have feeled natural for me. Hope you know what I'm saying here.
(Buuuuut, when you start considering the talking cows, the cat people in the comic series, or some other sapient species, then it does kinda make sense like Kiwis could live there.)
