The Republic of Pony 19 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, disturbing lack of elderly people, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.073 billion Pony 19ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Pony 19ian economy, worth 811 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,771 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.
Cities in Pony 19 declare independence based on interpretation of the historic meaning of cave paintings, child labor has been outlawed, eminent domain has been abolished, and airplane passengers have been known to stuff pillows in their jackets to get extra arm room. 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 38,829th in the world and 104th in Sunset Shimmer for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,859.34 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
