The Equestrianic Imperium of Twilight Sparkle is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Imperatrix Twilight Sparkle with an iron fist, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, ubiquitous missile silos, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 31.836 billion Equestrians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Spirituality, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Manehattan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Equestrian economy, worth a remarkable 8,724 trillion Bits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 274,032 Bits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,797,329 per year while the poor average 16,360, a ratio of 109 to 1.

Loudmouthed journalists are given the chop, soldiers are taught to throw their guns at their enemies once the bullets have run out, wood-framed catapults are ready to launch diseased corpses into besieged cities, and paralegals spend all day Hewlett-Packing attorneys' law briefs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Twilight Sparkle's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Reformed Ponyism.

Twilight Sparkle is ranked 319,572^nd in the world and 40^th in The Alliance of Dictators for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -32.71 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
