After a doctor's visit, Cadence discovers that her baby daughter flurry Heart is suffering of hip dysplasia and so she sets on scheduling surgery for her daughter, expecting it to be quick and painless.

It is anything but.

Equal Town: a place where Equality reach one of its extremes, turning into pure, identity-annihilating, unfiltered Collectivism.

However, this is not the only odd Municipality in the Diarchy of Equestria, nor its oddness is the only brand avaible. A different town, built near the desert that marks the uncolonized frontier of Equestria, exists, and it's name is "Xirshehekin-town."

Twilight Sparkle and her friends have been tasked by Princess Luna and Princess Celestia to visit that place, take a census of the population there and maybe fix its incredibly broken finances and cases of tax evasions.

Naturally, if the inhabitants will cooperate with Twilight and friends.
