'''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"/>
