The Republic of Equestria Socialist is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Empress Max with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.171 billion equestrian enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canterlot. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient equestrian economy, worth a remarkable 2,090 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 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 205,523 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Equestrian watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact, police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints, a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, and evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right. 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 17,559^th in the world and 2^nd in Pony Realms for Most Influential, scoring 2,714 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
