In Equestria, harmony prevails. Earth ponies toil in the fields, pegasi control the weather and serve the homeland, Canterlot lives in luxury, and Princess Celestia once again thanks the Mane Six for saving the country. The Princess of Friendship recently even acquired her own castle.
Suddenly, an unexpectedly appearing map sends the friends on a mission to an unusual village. Little did they suspect that the red flags scattered throughout the village were not placed there without reason, and that they had arrived at the beginning of the Socialist Revolution.
The AU tag was added because the story of Sunburst and Starlight's friendship, and subsequently the history of Our Town, differs from the canonical outcome. Additionally, the story suggests that Celestia and Luna were not alicorns from birth.
