Crystal empire and the frozen north

[ggg-2 3,550]

The Crystal Empire is in the frozen north, that much we know. But is the frozen north even within Equestria's borders? I don't recall it ever being stated whether it actually is or not.

I would assume that everything within the map of Equestria is part of Equestria.

The Frozen North is probably near the mountains in the North of the Crystal Empire, it exists I'm pretty sure.

Well, my theory is this, and I could very well be wrong.

 

Equestria is ruled by princesses from Canterlot.

 

The Crystal Empire is ruled by Cadence & Shining Armor.

 

No other city within Equestria such as Manehatten or Cloudsdale is ruled by such a high monarchy.

 

So, would that make the Crystal Empire a city-state of its own; bordering the northern border of Equestria?

I think its on the edge of equestria.

There's one:

(not 100% sure it's official though)

@@Blobulle,Ya ive seen that one,but im not sure if its official either. If it is then looks like the Crystal Empire is on the northern edge of equestria,unless the frozen north is also part of equestria.

Nopony in the show ever said it was in the Frozen North.

I think it is official. I saw it on a youtube video with the official Hasbro and MLP FiM logo on it.

I think the Crystal Empire is apart of Equestria since it is featured on that map. Perhaps it has its own rulers either out of tradition or due to the vast distance between the Crystal Empire and the rest of Equestria.

Looking back at the Crystal Empire episode a Queen had been mentioned.

It's official, confirmed by Equestria Daily to have been distributed by Walmart.

 

A similar image appears in Pinkie Pride, though with all names removed. Obscuring written words in the show is a common practice to ease the localization of the show for non-Anglophone audiences.

 

 

 

As for the Crystal Empire, it's not unheard of for small principalities and kingdoms to be part of larger ones, so I must assume it is a part of Equestria.

It's not on this map, I guess that's because they created this place after they drew the map.

 

EDIT: Wait, it's not on the map @Wind Chaser just posted either, strange.
