Just as well I will have to re-post it. Well I guess now I'm off to the livestream sites to watch re-runs and movies till I get tired.

EDIT: Well in honor of the Crazy Awesome of Tara Strong I will post this instead of my usual PMV:

@Allik: some sort of horrible mashup of the three government systems that teeters on being functional and near disaster. And then Discord showed up and all the government doesn't really matter anymore because Discord favors/causes anarchy. The Princesses are the ones who finally unite the three tribes. As well as getting rid of Discord, the ponies finally think that, you know what, let's just let these demigods rule. Or something.

That's even better than the ghost wonderbolt ending.

Straight-haired dark Pinkie is basically wet Pinkie, right? So let's think back to when Pinkie Pie got wet. There was the time she got splashed by the river serpent in "Friendship Is Magic, part 2", and there was the time she got soaked with the chocolate rain she was drinking in "The Return Of Harmony, part 1". But I'm starting to forget, did Pinkie get dunked in anything in "Putting Your Hoof Down"?

Ah, yeah. I was thinking it was Fluttershy who pushed Pinkie Pie into the mud, so then all I could find was throwing the drink in her face. tongue

@Crowind: Just read your explanation...and I'm okay with it. I guess it does give a decent summary, though there are still some details I'd like to know, but overall I will accept your theory. Thanks.

@Allik: I don't know enough about political systems to be comfortable with talking about it in great details. But yeah that's sort of my headcanon at the moment. How plausible is that?

Hello Luna Republic Luna Appreciation Club.

1. What form of government was used between the time of the newly formed tripartite Republic(?)/Kingdom(?)/United States(?) of Equestria and the takeover by the God-Empresses?

Given our own history, it would be an oligarchy council of all three race of ponies headed by the Earth Chancellor, Pegasus Commander, and King/Princess or their appointed representative. That is until Discord shows up and wreaks havoc then its anarchy until they get the Princesses. But so little is shown about this period I wouldn't worry and just have fun with fanon and wild mass guessing smile

2. How much of an impact did the first appearance of Discord have on this transition/coup if any(assuming that they didn't already have direct/autocratic control of Equestria)?
What makes you say they were rulers of Equestria before Discord? It could be like Cronus and his kids where the Olympians took over after overthrowing the Titans.

But good food for thought it'd be interesting to see what everyone else has to say.

Thinking about it how would this Luna Republic work? Given that republics aren't known for having monarchs. Would that mean she would have to run for office every time an election rolls around?

I always figured the princesses took power after clearing out discord.

Well it makes sense. Otherwise, where were they during Discord's arrival and reign of chaos?
