My last entry has raised my curiosity so today I looked into the conflicts that have happened in my absence. The guard has been involved in surprisingly few conflicts over the past thousand years. Having the pony who controls the raising and setting of the sun and moon as the ruler of your nation tends to lend one a political advantage.
There have been a scattering of assassination attempts, none of which met any measure of success. It seems even a ruler as lighthearted as Celestia will have a few attempts made on her life, though if any would-be assassin made it past the guard they would find themselves very much unable to harm her.
There have only been a few small border disputes which show a drastically decreasing number of casualties. Equestria has not even lost a soldier in battle for five centuries and the casualties report for the most recent skirmish only reports that a soldier took a pie to the face and recovered the next day.
Curious I investigated just what sort of weapon a ‘pie’ was. It is the type usually baked with apples and eaten for dessert. Further investigation into the guards armament revealed that the number of ponies who can make a weapon intended to kill another can be counted on one hoof by not raising that hoof, that is to say there are none.
What has become of Equestria?
