Stance on Sentient Ponies

Postby YellowApple » Fri Oct 07, 2011 5:30 pm

Basically, what are your nation's political, economic, and social stances on sentient/sapient equines/ponies (a la the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic universe)?




In YellowApple, sentient equines consist of approximately 20% of the population as of the time of this writing, and are mostly concentrated in the cities of Torvaldsville, Double Rainboom, and Pinkietown, though there are still significant populations of equines in nearly all of YellowApple's cities.

Equine citizens are granted the same rights as other sentient species in YellowApple, including humans, and the YellowApplan government has taken a fierce stance on discrimination against sentient equines internationally, often participating in mass liberation operations, the most notable being the evacuation of over 35 million equines from the nation of Ruffnekia, after a Ruffnekian statement indicating the enslavement and possible execution of said beings within its borders made its way to YellowApple. YellowApple is also an official supporter of the Coalition of Ponyist States, and incorporated a generic (secular) form of Ponyism into its core administrative policies.

Economically, equines receive many of the same opportunities as humans. Unicorns are particularly coveted for their telekinetic abilities, which make multitasking rather easy, though pegasi and earth-type equines have also proven their worth in a variety of careers, many of them relating to journalism, art, education, and culinary services.

Socially, equines are generally accepted by most YellowApplans. Though there are a few who are wary of the relatively new residents, seeing the rapid spread of Ponyism worldwide, those few are vastly outnumbered by the rest of the YellowApplan population, which has always had a tradition of cultural acceptance and adaptation.

Ponies are tolerated within Saurisia as we view the whole issue over Ponyism with indifference. They are free to live here in Saurisia with the same rights as other non-Humans provided they become citizens. It should be noted that the sapient Equines already living in Saurisia (Horses and Zebras) are especially welcoming of those Ponies who decide to live here in Saurisia.

Treated just the same as other, non-sentient, livestock and accordingly, have no rights whatsoever or citizenship status. A secret police is in place to monitor their current numbers and initiate a cull if they get too high, conduct frequent surveillance, and find any attempted uprisings or subversiveness before they can happen.

We view them as parasites, either they are forced to lose this ponyism in their head by reeducation camps or they are forced to move, any pony caught and proven to be a spy will always be prepared for the Premier for dinner.

OOC: I've never watched "My little pony", and I'm mystified about why it seems so popular with anyone old enough to post here.

IC: Obviously, as a nation of sentient equines ourselves, we have no problem with sentient ponies. We're not so sure about magic though. Our nation has no recognized magic.

Well, they are allowed like all other species. They are treated like others, but no one really likes them, but no one hates them. They are viewed as "neutral".(Personally, I really dont like them at all, but may as well be fair)

Karlsland's constitution grants rights to any creature capable of proving its sapience, however, ponies are given a somewhat suspicious eye by our citizens, due to the speed of their spread. They currently make up less than one percent of our population.

The United Socialist States of Novraslavia and the Communist Party of Novraslavia recognizes ponyism as a respectable sociopolitical ideal (foreign, of course, as the USSN is a single-party state), but also believes that anyone who thinks there are sentient ponies in this world are batshit insane.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Ponies make up 20% of the Dominion's population, and are treated as full citizens.

They've made great gains in the agricultural sector of our economy, and have even been outcompeting traditional human farms.

There is no such thing as a sentient (by which we assume you mean "sapient") pony, bad '50s television shows and that one horse that they claimed could do arithmetic notwithstanding. Anyone who believes in talking ponies, or believes that they are a talking pony, is clearly delusional, and we really wish that they would stop talking their nonsense in sane-people threads.

FYI: Dragons are also imaginary. Dinosaurs are extinct. We're still reserving judgment on sentient machines.

The United World Order doesn't much care about Sentient Ponies and list them as Unimportant and a waste of time and have seen most Sentient Ponies turn to Communist Slaves so they are much hated and not cared for.

We use them for rocket and chemical weapons tests when no humans are available. Other than that, the few remaining ones are used for bayonet and target practice by our military. They currently number 2300 and counting in total--er, make that 2299, no, 2298, now, wait.....anyway, needless to say, these threats to the established order are soon to be extinct.

Wait a minute, who said there are any such beings in Tyger PMC? What are their names? Forget anything we have just uttered. After all, anyone who believes that there are sentient ponies clearly need to be committed to our finest institute of mental health....
