The Republic of Pony 1 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 7.203 billion Pony 1ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canterlot. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pony 1ian economy, worth 904 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 125,611 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, the nation's soldiers often believe they're in the Air Force, the jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, and weird or unusual crimes merit cruel and unusual punishments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pony 1's national animal is the kangaroo, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Pony 1 is ranked 99,710^th in the world and 275^th in Sunset Shimmer for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,007.68 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
