{{Main|History of Equestria}}
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 pniesponies 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|unicornPegasus}} 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.
