Abyssinia

Abyssinia is a kingdom located in the Mysterious South, south of Equestria by the Bone Dry Desert. It's a largely peaceful kingdom with kind monarchs and well-developed cities and appears to be in many ways, the cat "equivalent" of Equestria.

History
At one point, Abyssinia came in contact with the "Misfortune Malachite", an artifact they housed to keep it from causing misfortune to others.

The early history of Abyssinia is quite vague. The land was ruled by a monarchy of King and Queen, rather than the principality-like ruler-ship seen in most Central continent kingdoms. The kingdom, or at least its capital of Panthera was settled on the borders of a cat-like lake by the Cat lords. Applejack and the Mane Six apparently have a history of getting arrested in in Abyssinia, with Applejack claiming it was "strangely litigious".

A fairly industrious kingdom, Abyssinia has numerous cities within its borders, such as Panthera, Tabbytown and Henry.

The kingdom was at one point conquered by the Storm King, who one day decided to destroy the kingdom out of boredom. Despite the carnage he caused out of boredom, the kingdom soon stabilized, at least somewhat, as the Royal family of Abyssinia were capable of attending the Convocation of the Creatures event at Mount Metazoa. Afterwards, the Abyssinian Embassy was constructed in Ponyville, once again showing signs that the kingdom has come back from the brink of disaster.

Geography and location
In the original map of Abyssinia, the continent was shown to be huge and vaguely L-shaped with mountainous terrain. The location of the kingdom is now unknown, given how what little of the geography we've seen of the place doesn't seem to add up with the layout of the Mysterious South. The kingdom appears to be mostly an even-temperament with large bodies of water and a decent amount of vegetation, but nearby locations such as Klugetown and the Basalt Beach are almost completely barren and dry.

Although Klugetown tends to be lopped in with Abyssinia, Chummer actually remarked that the Bone Dry Desert, which surrounds all of Klugetown, was outside of Abyssinia's borders.

Behind the scenes
Abyssinia is named after the real-life cat breed. The location was first first mentioned in in 2016 and made its first true appearance in. Ever since then, the location has become a consistent aspect of the My Little Pony mythos, with it being mentioned in Tails of Equestria: The Official Movie Sourcebook, and the Gameloft video game.
