The Pony Principality of Princess Luna is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, state-planned economy, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 28.318 billion Ponies enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it 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 92.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Principalitan economy, worth a remarkable 2,386 trillion Silver Bits a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, 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. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 84,282 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 44,521^st in the world and 15^th in Pony Lands for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 163.4 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
