EQUESTRIA

[youtube=ZISo1NFO7AQ]
Blessed bodies of the Heavens
Sun and Moon of greatest light
Bathe us in your warm embraces
Shield us with your peerless might
Help us to stand firm as mountains
Doing right and shunning wrong
May we find our strength in friendship
Unite our herd as one group strong.

Kindness save our herd from sorrow
Laughter lift us through the day
Honesty shall purge our anger
Generous we'll be in our ways
Loyal to our roots remain us
Day by day the magic swells.
Love and tolerance shall lead us
O'er the seas and hills and dells.

In brotherhood we stand together
In sisterhood may we find grace
The Sun and Moon shall ever guide our
Never ending pony race!
Why should we fear threats of discord
Standing now all here as one?
We shall find our strength in friendship
Herd unite as one group strong- Equestrian National Anthem

One of the most powerful nations in the world, Equestria has the trump card of having powerful alicorn leaders capable of nudging the moon and sun. it's not surprising that not many wish to go to war with Equestria, preferring instead to open trade agreements and peace treaties. the Equestrian military is small, but it is still a capable fighting force.

Education is also important, with equal opportunities for the young of all citizens

concerning geography, Equestria has never been mapped, though it is known that the Everfree forest (actually 138 different, smaller forests) covers roughly 75% of the country, stretching north from Ponyville to the Crystal Tundra and west to the Archenback mountains.

Equestria's main export is gems, for which they receive iron from Concordia, oil from Saddle Arabia, coal from Zebrican countries, and various goods from other countries it is allied with.

THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE

home to only two cities, the "Crystal Empire" actually encompasses the entire Crystal Tundra including the Crystal Mountains where the soulcrowns make their home. since the capital itself has only recently reappeared, it is still slow in making an impact, and its main source of income at current is tourism.

And the singular changeling? Traitors to the hive? Hive assimilation after the failed invasion?
Or is there something more sinister behind that?
