The Republic of Pony 26 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.011 billion Pony 26ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Public Transport and International Aid aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 66.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pony 26ian economy, worth 718 trillion guilders 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 impressive 102,459 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government denies any involvement in the release of the Hot Load computer virus, cowboys often wear wolfskin jackets to the saloon, strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, 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 26's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pony 26 is ranked 294,558th in the world and 676th in Sunset Shimmer for Nicest Citizens, with 1.23 average smiles per day.
