EDIT!!!

I've expanded the information to cover all sectors of Equestria: history, name etymology, economy, law enforcement and military, infrastructure, health, education, culture, geography, government structure, demographics, and science and technology sectors. Each sector's information will be distributed accordingly, and one sector uploaded per day. It is unclear when the uploading shall commence, however I am aiming to finish the entire "wiki" page for my headcanon variant of Equestria before the end of the month of June.

Anyone can freely use information detailed here. Please make sure to link back if ever

Lest thou shalt be sentenced to the moon for a thousand years!!!

Equestria, or also known officially as the United Equestrian Kingdoms, is a Federal Constitutional Tetrarchy born out of many fascinating moments in its history as a growing super power of the world. What started out in a small area on a scenic valley ruled by three feudal tribes (the Earth ponies, the Unicorns, and the Pegasi), grew into one of Earth's most outstanding countries. With a stable economy ranking 1st world-wide, a strong military that stretches from the oceans to the skies, a government ruled by four wise and kindhearted princesses, and a population with strong knowledge of friendship and harmony, Equestria is indeed the a force worth noting. However, neither of these traits would've been possible if it weren't for its turbulent past; a past cursed with division, conflict, sorrow, and death...

Equestria was once a small and young land, created at the immediate unification of three feudal pony tribes (Pegasi, Unicorns, Earth Ponies) after their first victory against King Sombra's advancing forces. The kingdom grew, as well as its strength. However,without an heir to inherit the Equestrian thrones, the three Founding Figures of Equestria--Commander Hurricane, Princess Platinum, and chancellor Pudding--died and left their kingdom leaderless. A crazy, yet powerful young unicorn pony stood up and attempted to take over, but was easily thwarted by the general populous. Enraged by humiliation, he vowed to get his revenge on those who dared block his way from ruling Equestria. However, he soon found out that tampering with pony magic to the furthest extent can leave a unicorn... deformed, in a way. Regardless, he used his new-found powers to rule Equestria in chaos for a century. His "eternal" reign would soon pave way to rebellion, and that rebellion came from two alicorns who vowed to take vengeance against the chaotic leader for ravaging their small peaceful tribe. With the Equestria ruler defeated, the alicorns restored balance to Equestria but at the cost of their health. They fought bravely, but had severely weakened them. Upon death, they passed their powers, and the spell of immortality, to their two daughters who would become Equestria's new eternal reigning diarchs. These sister princesses were taught by their parents with the lessons of laughter, kindness, loyalty, generosity, and honesty as the basis for ruling Equestria that they may bring the nation to ultimate glory. Under the sisters' rule, the nation expanded and flourished. they defeated Sombra, resolved the social problems of Equestria, and brought the nation into its golden age. However, on one fateful day, the younger princess' heart became dark. Jealousy filled her mind and incited a rebellion against her sister. To save the country, the eldest sister had to do what no other sister would do: fight her own identical flesh and blood and send her to the moon in exile for a thousand years.

The exile never kept her evil sister for long, she escaped and incited yet another rebellion; this time at a much larger scale. The nation was torn and a 10-year war was raged. Ponies dying and blood and bodies scatter the land. In the end, the sun was victorious and sent her sister yet again to the moon for another thousand years. Though broken and weak, the war's end proved to be a bright beginning to create a new Equestria. And so the eldest sister began massive reformations; she dawned the Industrial Age, brought further autonomy to cities, federalized the kingdom, and enhanced the rights of her pony subjects that they may live a free and truthful life. Though happy with the sacrifice she gave to the nation, she was not happy with one sacrifice she has regretted even to this day: banishing her only sister in the expense of the nation's safety. A thousand years she waited until the corrupted sister returned to seek her second vengeance. However, her evil form was ultimately vanquished by six ponies who now have the power to control the elements of harmony: Equestria's first superweapon. With the younger sister freed from her dark alter-ego, Equestria is once again ruled by the sister princesses; this time, they are now ruling a more modern and free Equestria. An Equestria for a brighter future.

Certain information and content I used for the United Equestrian Kingdoms were from the following artists:
Emkay-MLP :: [link] For the design of the emblems for the flag. I tried my best to somehow create a hybrid of the four emblems of each of the princesses, representing the harmony between the rulers as well as the whole of Equestria. Thank you
Solar Empire emblem :: [link]
New Lunar Republic emblem :: [link]
Twilight Alicorn emblem :: [link]
Crystal Empire emblem :: [link]

Nimaru :: [link] For the background of the REAL story of why Luna transformed. It was a great tale detailing her transformation into Nightmare Moon. It made me think of actually linking it up to the massive fandom about the war between the Solar Empire and the New Lunar Republic (also known as the Pony War, Pony Civil War, Great Pony Civil War, Lunar Rebellion, Equestrian Civil War). Thank you

Equestrian timeline :: [link] Made by TLATopHat [link]. Your timeline, though unofficial, made me seriously think of many ways on how to properly link up the many major events of Equestria like its founding, Celestia and Luna taking over as the diarchy of Equestria, the defeat of Discord and Sombra during the princesses' reign, Luna's downfall and transformation into Nightmare Moon, her escape from her first 1000yr exile on the moon and establishing a revolutionary army against Celestia, Luna's defeat on the civil war and her second 1000yr exile, her second return and defeat by the hands of the Mane Six, resurrection and annexation of the Crystal Empire into Equestria, and Twilight's ascension as Equestria's 4th princess; turning the nation into a Federal Constitutional Tetrarchy (a country ruled by 4 princesses, made up of 3 primary kingdoms, and 30 city-states). Thanks for the timeline

FINALLY!
The Equestrian National Anthem :: [link] "The Land of Equestria" made by PonyEveningStar [link]. Great vocals and mix of modern and orchestral tunes. Love it
