That, and there will soon be interdimensional rifts in spacetime and the Fourth Wall now that Pinkie Pie exists in both YellowApple and Legokiller as two distinct world leaders.

Trololo.

No she can't. Only Pinkie Pie can by breaking the Fourth Wall. Hence how two copies of her now exist in the NS universe.

Or that Rainbow Dash exists in both Legokiller and GPH as both a national leader and a high-ranked military commander

I'll attribute that to her Sonic Rainbooms punching holes in spacetime and leaving phantom copies of herself in various places.

It also means that she can now make out with herself and fulfill her fanonical lesbian tendencies at the same time.

And more cupcake ingredients

*Legokiller thinks of on what to post maturely but fails*

EDIT: Hmm thinking about it now that could be a fun idea for an international visit to GPH without the two Rainbow Dashs killing each other so Hooray for love and tolerance!

But let's keep the pony-related off-topic stuff in Sugarcube Corner; the original CoPS thread got locked because of off-topic pony-related stuff.

You also can't veto this, even though you didn't bother to make an actual rejection.

That was an observer application, by the way.

Religion is not banned, Aetherian citizens are free to have whatever superstitions they please in private, provided it doesn't involve sacrificing people or something else that breaks Aetherian laws. We have strict laws regarding the establishment and management of places of public worship, they cannot receive state funding, and are subject to closure if the pulpit is used to make political messages.

What that is referring to is the prohibition of religious political parties. In the 1920s, the parties based on religions started working together to ban secular parties. After that was done, they naturally set to work trying to ban each other. By 1924 the cults of Orthodox Christianity, Taoism, and Buddhism were the three largest parties, with a handful of smaller religions with minimal representation. The Christians gained a significant majority in the ANS and called for a vote to ban Buddhism on December 31, 1924. This was blocked by the longest filibuster ever recorded in the Aetherian National Senate, which went on until approximately 11:45 pm. At this point unknown gunmen stormed the building, (according to state records they were Christians attempting to end the filibuster) which sparked what later became known as the Midnight War.

Long story short, it lasted 3 years, and the Socialists saw the total collapse of the government as a great chance to get back into the public eye. They, along with the other banned parties formed the Aetherian Secular Coalition and managed to defeat the Christians and become big goddamn heroes, and firmly cement themselves as the primary political base of the newly formed PRA, which they've largely kept to the present day.

So they aren't too keen on letting the people they shot out of power back in. Which isn't too likely considering public attitudes toward religion in general. A popular Aetherian children's rhyme illustrates this.

"A cultist is a person who likes to spread hate.

When they try to gain power, they're an enemy of the state.

December 31st, remember the date.

Report them, before it's too late."

Plus, a collection of crosses ripped from the necks of Christians killed in combat are treated as cultural treasures in the Aetherian National Museum.

Well then.

As long as religion may still be practiced legally, I see no issue with this. By my powers combined-

Uh, I mean, accepted.

I'm not sure why it hasn't yet. Though I don't remember what the votes were, if any beyond my acceptance.

Their nation was rejected temporarily because they nearly allowed for Sapient Equines to be used as meat, but then with a court case they reversed the decision. So I will allow for acceptance.

No, you didn't. I can link to the vote taken post-Pony Board where two of the three accepting nations voting in favour.
