The Pony Principality of Princess Luna is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its hatred of cheese, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 24.089 billion Ponies hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coltchester. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Principalitan economy, worth a remarkable 1,962 trillion Silver Bits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Average income is 81,483 Silver Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Debates on whether toilet seats should be left up or down are increasingly commonplace, unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves, t-shirts displaying a photo of Leader performing the Full-Monty are selling out, and sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Princess Luna's national animal is the Vampire Fruit Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Orthodox Harmonism.

Princess Luna is ranked 150,111^th in the world and 25^th in Pony Lands for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 98,161 Standard Monetary Units.
