Pony Lands

Both factions of the war are currently at standstill, waiting for some other country to step in and help break the tide. Also New Acrovania is here, my newest puppet nation.

The last time I checked nation analysis, your nation was smarter than ours. Polls do not lie here; Thank you for bringing up the idea of compensation! Unfortunately we do not know what to offer, as we do not know what your nation would want in return other than money. If you have any suggestions, then feel free to inform via telegram. I suppose this goes the same with every other nation that would like to get involved, if any.

...Okay, this is old news, but it just keeps bothering me more the more I think about it. Did anyone else think Shining Armor and Cadence were Mary Sues?

Shining Armor is more powerful than he has any right to be (somehow able to cast a shield big enough to protect an entire city from an army, which doesn't fail until Chrysalis has been draining his power for days, and which none of the characters actually SUPPOSED to be powerful, Twilight Sparkle, Celestia, or Luna, even attempt, even when the former has been shown to know force field magic), while Cadence breaks one of the rules set for the characters so far (only god-tier characters can have both pegasus and unicorn powers) to make her seem cooler. They're retconned into Twilight Sparkle's life out of nowhere (and Twilight Sparkle's cutie mark, the very essence of who she is as a pony, turns out to not represent magic in any significant way but just be a minor modification of the one Shining Armor had first). They steal the spotlight by saving the day themselves, after the main cast's actions prove entirely ineffective (Twilight Sparkle's most useful contributions were encouraging Cadence to do stuff she could have done on her own, because every Mary Sue needs a satellite character to tell her how awesome she is). And they do this through an entirely informed positive trait (their "love") which we aren't shown in any meaningful fashion (yet are asked to believe is somehow powerful enough to defeat a large army and a villain that won against Princess Celestia).

(The one character that's an even more straightforward Mary Sue is Owlowcious, whose only role in his episode was to show up out of nowhere and prove to be absurdly perfect at everything in order to make an established character jealous, all while having too little personality to actually be an interesting character. However, that's largely just a problem with one episode, while Shining Armor and Cadence's existance do unpleasant things to continuity.)

LOL, this one issue option about weather to teach Evolution in schools

"Heck, we can tell them that crackpot theory that we're all descended from Polar Bears too,"
