Size? I'm talking the engery requirments. When you talk about universe size you talk about the energy of the universe. The Total energy. Which is so vast that computers would probably melt at computing it. Even if we could control universe amounts of energy we still don't know what to do with it because we don't know how ours was created. (Yes a Big Bang. We don't know what caused the Big Bang.) Let's concentrate on controlling the engery we get from the sun first before messing with universal amounts. (Even the energy we get from the sun is a tiny fraction of what it puts out.)

Shart answer? No. Absolutly not. Long Answer: The universe is so unbelieveably huge that it is impossible to 'create' one. We don't even know how OURS was created. Let alone what is required to make one. Now you could go with the multiverse theory that universes are created all the time. Or that the multiverse is just an infinite variations of this timeline. In one you didn't make this thread. In another I never responded. And so on and so on, so that EVERY action for decision makes a new universe. So technically if true we've made tons of new universes already! But we'll never find out. So it can't be proven. So in the end it makes no difference.

Wut?... I don't even.... *facehoof*

The only way to draw my maps is through the computer. It alone has the programs and data I need. Plus I have really bad motor control...

Yay! I promised new maps and here they are. I cleaned up my process of making them so they should be prettier. Today is the Royal Lands! Unclaimed by any of the major powers before Equestria was founded the Royal Lands were originally given to Celestia as her own. But Celestia, in seeking a common capitol, declined and slated the Royal Lands to be jointly ruled with her sister Luna while she took the wartorn Borderlands as her own. After the Year 0 Inceident, or the 'Age of Chaos', Equestria was officially established at the Old Capitol at the mouth of the Equestrian River. The Old Capitol quickly grew to rival Manehatten and newly founded Lunar City as the greatest city in Equestria. Due to the tropical nature of the Capitol Lands a royal retreat was built in the Canter Valley for an escape during the hot summers and Ponyville was founded as the waypoint between Canterlot and the Capital. Deep in the Everfree Forest, a massive rainforest covering most of the lowlands at that time, a Castle was founded. It was the only fortification built in the Royal Lands. Built on a bluff over looking the Equestian River its purpose was a mystery till the Nightmare Civil War when it was learned that the castle was built to protect the Elements of Harmony. The Royal Lands was divided into eight duchies: The Capitol Lands were the most populated due to the capital. It was a Tropical rainforest land and populated by everytype of pony. The only pony to live in the forested lands of the Capitol in any substantial population was the colorful Tropical Pegasi. The Eastern Royal Lands were a bit drier but still just hot, though it did cool off some farther west. The land was swampy due to many rivers flowing down from the Misty Range. After the Nightmare Civil War much of the Eastern Royal Lands became kown as The Bogg. Jungle Earth Ponies used to live here with Tropical Pegasi. The Foothills of Mist were once home to many Mountain Pegasi cities. Numerous Jungle Pony town dotted the underforest. It was devistated in the Civil War and any areas outside of the Everfree Forest afterwards were fortified since it was the only area left in the Royal Lands reachable from the noponyland of the Lunar Demesne and the Ememies of the Lunar Federation and Commonwealth beyond. The Foothills of Mist was usually refered to as the Fortifications of Mist due to the shear number of them. The Southern Royal Lands were very similar to the Foothills of Mist and after the Civil War was administatively grouped with it. It was also the first duchy reclaimed from the Everfree Forest after the Return of Harmony. The Central Royal Lands is the most diverse duchy in Equestria. Due to once being covered in forest it has lots of farmland and Earth Ponies have a small majority. From Ponyville and other towns between the Old Capitol and Canterlot come ex-military families and unicorns that once traveled the Royal Road. The other reason it is so diverse is it was the first stop for many ponies fleeing the Everfree Disaster. The Northern Royal Lands wedged between the Coastal League and the Upper Confederation has fewer pegasi than other duchies as they are drawn to Cloudesdale and other pegasi cities in the Solar Highlands. Unicorns are more plentiful here due to the Emerald Mountains andtheir gems. Like the Central Lands it is mostly farm and forest. The Solar Highlands hold the largest concentration of pegasi cities in the Royal Lands dating back to it's founding. Most of the duchy is covered in pines. The Canter Valley, holding Canterlot and a pass to the Unicorn Valley, is where unicorns are mostly found. Drawn by the closeness of Unicornia and the power of Canterlot. It is a mountainous duchy and cool, with pine forests on the slopes and temperate forests in the valleys. After the Nightmare Civil War and the shattering of Harmony the Everfree Forest quilkly grew dark. It expanded and swallowed up entire duchies. The Capital was overrun quickly within a year dealing a massive blow to the stability of Equestria just recovering from the Civil War. The Capital was moved to Canterlot where Celestia could more easily respond to her holdings in the Borderlands as well as the shattered Confederation and other recovering parts of Equestria. Cartline was once the southernmost state in the Coastal League. In the Everfree Disaster is was overrun and pretty much abandoned by the League. Roamoak, once a thriving town, is said to be cursed as even though it is on the coast it is now near impossible to find. Anypony who finds it are rumored to see a perfect town in the middle of the rainforest. Even more disturbing is that some say the ponies that once lived there still wander the town as if the Nightmare Civil War never happened. Greenburro is current capital of Cartline and even though it is in the Everfree Forest still going strong. It's citizens are said to be more stubborn than the burro it was named after and gave rise to the saying: "More stubborn than a Cartliner." in refernce to not abandoning their town and state to the Everfree Forest dispite the dangers.
