When your country is several millennia old, the writings of scholars and philosophers and the publications in academic journals could fill thousands of bookshelves. Indeed, in Equestria they do. All academic journals and compendiums of the writings of Equestria's many thinkers have been copied and stored in the Canterlot Royal Academic Archives. As it would take a pony millions of years to read through all of them, this is but a selection of pieces from the CRAA that would be useful to a pony studying various subjects or wanting to catch up on historical or current affairs.

Often I get ideas of how parts of the show and lore connect with something else or with some academic theory or another, and I'll write an academic style essay about it. This is a collection for them. Usually I'll try to keep in canon with the show because it's more fun that way, but the essays are not necessarily canon with each other, though ideas might be shared between them because I'll find they work with multiple tangents.
Hey there! Followed your link from Alt.History :) Your stuff here is great.. KeeCoyote over therer.
What Equestria needs is another opposition party that is like the Triple Crown Party in good foreign policy and supporting civil rights for non-pony species but is different in domestic policy, to provide voters a strong alternative choice that won't be warlike or violate other species' civil rights if they don't like the Triple Crown Party.

The Everfree Party would probably be the best for that if they were able to break through their ceiling and become a nationwide competitive party (incidentally, late into writing this I realized the Everfree Party was in a lot of ways the UK Lib Dems so I ended up running with it). For now, though, I'm not sure there's enough political appetite for it, especially after the season 9 premiere.
That was a really good story.
It's truly awe-inspiring to contemplate the wealth of knowledge and wisdom accumulated over millennia in Equestria. The Canterlot Royal Academic Archives stand as a testament to the rich intellectual heritage of our land, housing countless writings from scholars, philosophers, and thinkers. While it may seem daunting to embark on such an extensive literary journey, the curated selection offered by the CRAA provides an invaluable resource for ponies eager to delve into various subjects or stay informed about historical and current affairs. What an incredible opportunity to immerse oneself in the vast tapestry of Equestria's intellectual legacy! on this page More detail
