Pony 19

Population5.343 billion

The Republic of Pony 19 is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its smutty television, parental licensing program, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.343 billion Pony 19ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Pony 19ian economy, worth 562 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,288 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Being able to unblock a u-bend pipe is considered a universally essential skill, every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver, animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, and the entire entry for Pony 19 in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pony 19's national animal is the beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pony 19 is ranked 39,889th in the world and 49th in Sunset Shimmer for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.74 law-abiding acts per hour.
