Storm King's army wasn't that large and would've been destroyed by the U.S. Army, and his fleet of airships wouldn't stand a chance against the U.S. Air Force. Zeppelins vs. basically any fighter jet from the USAF, there's basically no competition.

Technology: My computer My smartphone My Nintendo Switch The Internet Television Modern Medicine Food: I'm a true, dyed-in-the-wool, carnivore. So not being able to eat meat would really suck. I love sweets, but I don't think my blood glucose levels would appreciate me eating Pinkie's sweets 24/7. Family and Friends: I'm sure I wouldn't be permitted to bring anyone along with me, so I'd become very lonely very fast. Even after making friends with the ponies, I'd still want human contact. Living in a Civilization built by humans, for humans: Our civilization was built with our needs in mind. We have technology and modernity. Moving to Equestria, where technology is either primitive and supplemented by magic, or just non-existent, would be like going back in time to live in Medieval Europe, only with some modern touches.

Funnily enough, Ponyville kind of reminds me of the town I'm currently living in. It's small, has less than 1000 residents, but is actually larger than Ponyville, at around 41.79 mi². So, if Ponyville were to register in the U.S., it would identify as either a town or small village.

The government could either be aware of the kind of power that's behind Equestrian magic or not. If it is, then it could either be choosing to let it exist because the magic is largely used to fight crime and prevent disasters, making their jobs easier, or they could be studying it from afar, hoping to figure out a way to harness it into a new magic-based class of weapons that the military can use. As we've seen from the EQG movies, Equestrian magic is very powerful and, if it falls into the wrong hands, can be used to cause massive damage and even rip open portals between the two worlds.

Definitely Rainbow Dash. If not her, then either Sci-Twi, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, or Sunset Shimmer.

I honestly think that the name Equestria applies only to the country and continent. Think Australia.

Funnily enough, my personal headcanon is very similar, only instead of the Crown ruling everything, the Royal Family rules with the assistance of a council consisting of representatives sent from each town in Equestria.
