'''Equestria''' was a [[country]] and an [[Timeline (Friendship is Magic)|ancient]] [[kingdom]] [[Geography of Equestria|located]] on [[Greater Equestria]] on the [[planet]] of [[Earth (Friendship is Magic)|Earth]]. The {{FIM|pony}} kingdom [[border]]ed [[Yakyakistan]], [[Crystal Empire|The Crystal Empire]] and [[Mysterious South|the mysterious South]]. To the east of the kingdom lied the [[Griffon continent]] and [[Dragon-Kirin island]] and to the west lies [[Unexplored West|lands left yet unexplored]]. Equestria is shown to be a revered and in some cases, feared kingdom due to its mighty denizens and even mightier [[Monarchs of Equestria|rulers]].

==History==
As the term 'Equestria' is often applied in a manner that doesn't necessarily refer to the political body, it's unclear if a definitive starting point to the country can be determined. The term 'Equestria' has referred to the realm since the days of {{FIM|Starswirl the Bearded}} and has been used well after the country seemingly dissolved<ref name = "ANG">''[[My Little Pony: A New Generation]]''</ref> The earliest known inhabitants of Equestria were the [[Cave Ponies]] who lived several thousand years ago, though the oldest known ponies in Equestria to be referred to as Equestrians were the [[Founders of Equestria]].
The country seemed to be a loose confederation of city-states and small kingdoms in its early days, with no central government but instead smaller ones such as the [[Pegasus Kingdom]]. At some point, {{FIM|Princess Celestia}} and {{FIM|Princess Luna}} founded the '''Kingdom of Equestria''', uniting the entire realm under the duel-rulership. Though this reign was successful at first, Luna eventually fell to the darkness and nearly took the kingdom with her, before being banished to the [[moon]]. Despite this, Equestria thrived just fine with only a single ruler as Celestia held down the royal fort.
Approximately one-thousand years later, {{FIM|Princess Cadance|Cadance}}, a {{FIM|Pegasus}} who turned into an {{FIM|alicorn}} was appointed to be the royal 'niece' of Celestia, becoming one of the country's princesses. Later, {{FIM|Twilight Sparkle}} would become the protégé of Celestia after her [[Sunset Shimmer|last one]] failed, also destined to become one of its princesses.
Eventually, on a [[Summer Sun Celebration]], Luna came back to Equestria as Nightmare Moon seeking revenge and the oppertunity to conquor, before being defeated by the [[Elements of Harmony]]. Now with both of its princesses ruling, Equestria entered a golden-age of progress and good-fortunes.
==Government and organization==
The '''Equestrian Treasury''' is an Equestria organization presumably tasked with maintaining the economy of the realm. Though presumably rich, according to [[Raven Inkwell]], the treasury would've been bankrupt 7 times over during the [[Griffonstone-Equestria diplomatic crisis]].<ref>{{C|FIM|62}}</ref>

In terms of wonders and more artistic feats, several places in Equestria had rather fanciful buildings and monuments. A notable example was [[Mount Monument]], which depicted the [[Princesses of Equestria]] though was partially destroyed when {{
Many settlements have locally important structures without much importance to the rest of Equestria. Some notably important of this locations include the [[Space Needle]] of [[Seaddle]],<ref name = "FIM30">{{CAR|FIM|30}} {{CN|[[Phoenix Comics]] variant cover}}</ref> the [[Boxing Statue]] of [[Fillydelphia]],<ref name = "FIM65">{{C|FIM|65|''Queen for One Less Day''}}</ref> the [[Hope Hollow Rainbow|Rainbow]] of [[Hope Hollow]]<ref name = "RAINBOW">''[[My Little Pony: Rainbow Roadtrip]]''</ref> and the [[Statue of Liberty]] in Manehattan.<ref name = "TGMP">{{CAR|FIM|The Gift of Maud Pie}}</ref> Some of these structures served as tourist attractions to some extent, like the [[Equestria's Largest Ball of Yarn]].<ref name = "FF8"/>

In a [[2019]] Q&A, Big Jim indirectly referred to Equestria as being a planet<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/10/big-jims-q-on-friendship-is-magic.html |title= Big Jim's Q&A On the Friendship is Magic Finale (Also Confirming AJ's Parents Died) |last= |first= |date=10/23/2019 |website=Equestria Daily |publisher= |accessdate=10/23/2019 |quote=}}</ref>
, however, this has been contradicted a few times as the planet has otherwise been referred to as Earth, such as in ''[[Nightmare Rarity (arc)|Nightmare Rarity]]''.
In the 11th episode of ''[[Hello Pinkie Pie]]'' "[[Rarity's Crazy Halloween Mane Moments]]", Pinkie Pie mentions Equestria and other countries around the world...which are the [[United States of America]], [[China]], [[Wales]], and [[Brazil]], meaning that Equestria is apart of ''our'' Earth. The implications of this are innumerable and disturbing.
The continuity of ''Hello Pinkie Pie'' in general is odd, As Pinkie Pie references previous events as f they were historic moments in her life, but also speaks of them from an out-of-universe-perspective, mentioning their episode names and describing events she wasn't there for, so it's unclear of this is "canon".
