Don't be surprised if the Table of Contents change. It will all depend on whether or not I can think of enough information to justify being its own chapter. Expect a lot of stuff to be yanked from my butt, with plenty of fanon and headcanon in regards to the founders.

I know that it says "Brief" History. But remember: This is Twilight who is at the head of the project. Brevity and Twilight Sparkle do not mix.

Now then, as you can see, after Discord I intend to have Equestria be similar to Pre-Unification Germany: Lots and lots and lots of small statelets with a shared history, culture and ethnicity, but each quite different from the others. However, I don't have a very large list of different Pony Nation ideas. Perhaps you can help? If you can come up with a Pre-Unification pony nation that 1) Is a major shout out to a real life nation, 2) Has a suffitiently clever pony-pun, 3) a brief summary of the culture and its history, I'll consider adding it to the list. Please list your ideas in the comments for this chapter, so that we can all see your work in one place. Also, Read the list and other comments before adding your own. Here's what I have:

Canterlot (Surprisingly yes, Blueblood actually has real and tenable political power [be afraid]. But it's stupedly weak as the seat of the Federal Government [Celestia/Luna] is also there)
Neighpon (Pre-Meji Restoration Japan)
Prance (France)
Stalliongrad (Russia)
Trottingham (England)
Lyrland (Ireland)
Trotaly (Italy [Hi Cadence!])
Manehattan (Manhattan)

Okay, following. Ambitious-sounding too!

Are you going to be changing each piece of the table of contents into a hyperlink once they're completed?

How about the Ottomare Empire (or variations thereof; empire's a bit of a strong word)? I'm still working out the history, but the basis is the Ottoman Empire at it's height

This looks like an interesting beginning!

Man, I hope that this lives up to the table of contents. Please continue!

*Grins* looks like fun. i've always liked Bitaly myself. Also how about Caneighda?

Dd you change the Table in the meantime? I can't find any chapters that deal specifically with Discord anymore, unless it falls into one of the chapters somewhere in "The Dark Times".
