We know that Equestria has borders. This is confirmed in Dragonshy.

Also, yes, no reason for other countries to not have their own ridiculously powerful rulers and day/night solutions.

Clock is ticking!

Who's to say that the FIM world is even a 'planet' in the sense that we know?

And that the sun and the moon of this world are tangible objects?

I ship Pinkie & Mac...trust me...I know what I'm doing.

^It has been suggested in the past that Equestria's celestial body is a disc, with a sun and moon that are much smaller than our own and much closer.

I do also kind of like the idea of other god-rulers... the ibex Fireshaman, for instance, and Falalauria.

On a slight more relevant note, went out shopping for party supplies today and was pleasantly surprised to see a MLP birthday card. Tri-fold design, with Pinkie Pie, Twilight, and Fluttershy.

Hasbro must understand.....

.....if they make Pony Plushies.....

.....they'll be financally secure for the next century.

Now that I can beleive. Maybe there could be several disks...each one a nation of it's own.

They have made plushies, but only of Twilight and Pinkie. And the bigger, non-talking versions are exclusive to Toys Я Us.

I get it that people of all age can like this show, but I still don't get what drives grown people to buying the merch...

You wished court was this cool.

Some just really like the ponies...not like that!...others realize it's the best way to make sure Hasbro sees the show as profitable and keep renewing it for more seasons.

Build a fool proof system, and the world will create a better fool.

#33460 Death Cloud Sat, 29th Oct '11 1:03:48 PM

From what we learn from show there are places outside from Celestria control (places what she not rule, places where she can banish somepony), there are other lands other than Equestria (like places where Zecora was born). I'm allmost 100% sure that Equestria is one coutry in world.

There nothing what sujest that world is flat, and nothing sujesting other godlike being in world (horever they will show up or be mentioned especially if they make more adventure style).

They are like the others. Strange, hideous, resisting, fighting. Only these were not like the others. They did not die.

#33461 Whatshisgame Sat, 29th Oct '11 1:06:13 PM

They have world globes, so they're most likely on a planet.

I'd like to think Equestria is a state, and the entire planet is one country divided into states based on who lives there, dragons, griffons, etc.

I mean states like Nevada and Arkansas, not states as in countries. Maybe provinces would be a better term.

#33467 kegisak Sat, 29th Oct '11 1:18:08 PM

presumeably that the world has a unified body of government, with smaller governments that didctate the parctices affecting only their state. As opposed to a collection of countries, which has no unified government but is instead a group of different locales essentially covering their own hides first.

#33468 Death Cloud Sat, 29th Oct '11 1:25:24 PM

That not make sense, there no mention in show that have united goverment over world, not even something like UN.

Well, there's not many references to government at all, so most of this stuff is just fanon conjecture.

Well maybe their planet is kinda like the planet in Eureka Seven... saying anything more would be a massive massive spoiler.

A case of true love has the same redeeming power as a case of genuine curiosity: they are the same.

There is a difference between "this doesn't make sense" and "this isn't supported by canon". It's from this difference that fanon is born.

Yeah, there's nothing in the show that explicitly contradicts Equestria being a state in a larger nation, although Celestia has never been treated as anything other than the highest level of ruler, so if there are other states in that capacity, I'd say that it's more of a united nations style setup. Otherwise there's no reason to treat Celestia as a sovereign, which is what she's been portrayed as through the entire show.

But this is more like ignoring canon.

No it isn't. Nothing in canon says outright that it's WRONG

^^Read JTeeth's post. We know that Equestria has borders and that Celestia is the ruler of Equestria, not the world. It's pretty obvious that there must be other nations, especially given that Dragons, Zebras and Gryphons must have their own nations (or ponies would be more used to seeing them).
