The Republic of Pony 19 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.446 billion Pony 19ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Pony 19ian economy, worth 582 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,995 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

Reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, weighted heels are added to military boots to ensure diminutive celebrities meet minimum requirements, the nation has always been at war with Bigtopia, and the government is flooded with compensation requests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pony 19's national animal is the beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pony 19 is ranked 35,893^rd in the world and 17^th in Sunset Shimmer for Highest Food Quality, scoring 48.56 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
