I sincerely hope that you reconsider.
I see no IC evidence. However if all ponies in your nation are paid compensation or, even better, let go to a CoPS nation of their choice, then I may reconsider.
Everyone in New Sangheilios is allowed go anywhere of their choice as long as the nation in question has open borders. The gifting of money or property from the government to a person (or, in this case, pony) is strictly forbidden in New Sangheilios, so there is not much we can do in the line of compensation. We will try to find some way to compensate the ponies, but we are built on the sound principal that all are equal. If we give money to the ponies, we will have to give money to the people, and so forth and so forth. This is what happened to the Irish government. And New Sangheilios refuses to be Germany's bitch.
However, the Hippostanian Communist Party is currently housed in New Sangheilios. Out of good faith, we will send them back, as long as Hippostania swears that they will be treated equally to the ponies there.
Equality for ponies is not just rights for ponies. It implies that humans and ponies have the same rights.
