The Republic of Pony 9

“Friendship is Magic!”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Pony 9 is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, prohibition of alcohol, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.535 billion Pony 9ians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 57.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Pony 9ian economy, worth 522 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,477 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Claiming to have performed the Heimlich Maneuver is a popular defense for assault charges, recapturing giraffes is proving to be a tall order, citizens are constantly disappointed to find their nuisance neighbours are still alive, and police conduct weekly raids looking for contraband cheeseburgers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pony 9's national animal is the emu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Pony 9 is ranked 43,805^th in the world and 78^th in Sunset Shimmer for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.19 law-abiding acts per hour.
