The Republic of Pony 3 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its aversion to nipples, disturbing lack of elderly people, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.539 billion Pony 3ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Pony 3ian economy, worth 565 trillion Bits a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,062 Bits, with the richest citizens earning 9.0 times as much as the poorest.
Fish with fish chips have become the new Pony 3ian food staple, citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, and some say Leader has gone MAD after authorizing the development of apocalyptic biological weapons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pony 3's national animal is the Pony, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Pony 3 is ranked 133,403rd in the world and 3rd in Sunset Shimmer for Most Stationary, with 240.12736715172 days.
