The Republic of Equestria Socialist is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Max with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 13.22 billion equestrian enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canterlot. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient equestrian economy, worth a remarkable 2,847 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 215,386 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, dessert dishes make up the equestrian breakfast menu, acute politicians deride opposition members for being obtuse, and boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Equestria Socialist's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is thighdeology.

Equestria Socialist is ranked 13,303^rd in the world and 4^th in Pony Lands for Most Armed, with 9.13 weapons per person.
