Lumena Sparkle 30 January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 So I've just found some epic fanart by an artist by the name of Equestria Prevails: And it got me thinking, what would Equestria be like if the ponies were ruled by a Human Queen (by the way, the girl in the picture is G1 character Megan) Would Equestria be more militaristic? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordav 3,427 January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 Well anything that contains HUman would probably mean greed or wish for more. Thats just human nature. The fact is a monarch can only get this "more" by expanding his realm... and therefore i would guess yes... moe millitary would be involved. That however matters on the personality of the ruler as well. We had quite a few famous female monarchs in our history, Isabel of Spain, Elizabeth the Ist, Maria theresa of the Austria (and the HRE)... they showed us that females can be very similar in ruling a country as any male monarch. Now they could be expansionist, diplomatic, etc... So we cannot really be certain of anything =/ 1 Signature by me Sunny's Fan Club I love Sunset Shimmer <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanctified Absence 126 January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 Depends on the Human, we are inevitably a very, very varied race. However on average? I'd say a Human wouldn't have the talent to run Equestria, assuming they did it would become slightly less of a Pseudo-Utopia, but likely not by much. "Q'sal, a singular, labyrinthine mind composed of a billion conflicting, paradoxical wills. Have you ever seen the swirling Aetherstorms in it's atmosphere? Smelled the shifting perfumes of intrigue upon it's people? Tasted the gluttonous banquets of ambition permeating from the Sorcerer-Technocrats? Heard the exquisite lies and thoughts of an unknowable population? No Slaaneshi pleasure I have indulged in comes close to that feeling, only in the embrace of Apotheosis could one aspire to find anything greater."

SFyr 1,982 January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 (edited) Depends on the human, I would think. It's a cliche answer, but it's that way for a reason I think. On the whole, humans seem to value security and dominance more than ponies. While ponies value peace and kinship more than humans. I don't think it'd be more likely, therefore, that Equestria would be more peaceful for the change, especially since Celestia seems to be centered around the idea of preserving peace and happiness. However, I do think a human would be more centered on changing Equestria a good deal. Our values are placed heavily on technology and progress. A human would likely invest in improving said technology, and bringing forth more inventions, luxuries, and resources. They would also likely press for expansion, to provide for their nation by reaching into relatively unclaimed or unused lands for the benefit of the ponies under their charge. I will not resort to the cliche "humans are horrible/greedy/warlike", but instead, restate that humans are resourceful and focused on security. We were born of conflict, and live to struggle towards a greater state of being. Where ponies may be content, a human would ask what could be made better. Yes, this may result in war, but it would not be out of bloodlust--it would likely be for the benefit and security of the nation.

silvadel 1,393 January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 If there were only one human in equestria then I doubt it would end up all that much different. A singular human would identify with whatever country they ruled. 2 Silvadel, the Pegasus of Insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Storm 14 January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 It depends on what this humane's political beliefs are, fascist, communist, liberalist, anarchist, monarchist, whatever. But undoubtedly Equestria would be more militaristic, more industry etc. Red Star's Profile: http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/red-storm-r7714 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Untitled Goose Q 5,137 January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 Assuming a human as e know them, given that humanity seems unable to effectively govern itself, I doubt governing Equestria would work out any better.

[NULL] 906 January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 (edited) Of course Equestria would be more militaristic! What else could be worse than... *sigh* If Equestria was ruled by a human version of Celestia, what difference would that make? It certainly wouldn't be any less "peaceful" (pretending it was peaceful to begin with). People seem to forget that like the characters in the show, humans have varying personalities and ideals. There are MLP characters that are greedy and power-hungry, and there are humans that believe in goodwill. If you're asking "What if a human ruled Equestria?" you might as well be asking "What if some other random citizen from MLP ruled Equestria?" That's a pretty broad question.

If you're asking "What if a human ruled Equestria?" you might as well be asking "What if some other random citizen from MLP ruled Equestria?" That's a pretty broad question. Exactly. I think that conflict in humanity arises from a desire for power, and dseire not to lose that power, as well as the inability to see past differences (not to mention complex historical and political contexts that MLP never has to deal with). Humans have fallen into this trap historically, but remember, so have ponies. King Sombra was a pony and a power mad dictator. And before the time of Celestia and Luna, the unicorns, pegasi, and earth ponies were somewhat antagonistic and even *racist* towards each other. It's true that humanity is in general still in the middle of evolving past that point, but we're not talking about humanity in general here. We're talking about whether or not *a* human can lead Equestria fairly. Sig by Thunderstorm Check out my Rarity fansite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetrakemy 221 January 12, 2015 Share January 12, 2015 (edited) So I've just found some epic fanart by an artist by the name of Equestria Prevails: kingdoms_of_fire_by_equestria_prevails-d88zbah.png And it got me thinking, what would Equestria be like if the ponies were ruled by a Human Queen (by the way, the girl in the picture is G1 character Megan) Would Equestria be more militaristic? It would end up like the middle east probably. The alicorns would be taken out and they would fight back and lose and resitances would be built up and it would be a giant war zone as we drill for oil.

Gary S. 102 January 12, 2015 Share January 12, 2015 (edited) No matter what ideology the human stands for, the upper class ponies, Filthy Rich, Flim, Flam and others of their kin would be very, very happy. The poor ponies would draw a blank. Probably the middle class, too. The four princesses would fulfill the role of figureheads with no political power. A strong military wouldn't be bad. If you want peace, prepare for war, as the word is. Edited January 12, 2015 by Gary S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soaring Symphony 372 January 24, 2015 Share January 24, 2015 I don't see how humans could take over equestria at all. If Equestria Girls is anything to go by, if a human tried to go to equestria from our world, they'd end up turning into a pony or some other Equestrian creature. Therefore the hypothetical humans in question would have to be fromEquus (the planet Equestria is on) origionally (unlikely). Assuming that's even possible, there have been countless examples in the show that the ponies of Equestria are just as if not more intelegent then people. That would be a huuuuuuuuuge problem for humans since, in real life, our brains and ability to reason logically are the only things have given us an edge over other animals from an evolutionary standpoint. Also, while the earth ponies may be questionable (seriously, what the buck are they good for) at least the other two thirds of the ponies would completely overpower any humans that would even try and take over. The pegasi can fly and manipulate the weather while the unicorns are capable of direct magic (and Celestia knows what that would amount to in a war). I really don't think it matters what a human would do if they ruled equestria because such a scenario would never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC_Maud_Pie 6,431 January 25, 2015 Share January 25, 2015 If Equestria is ruled by a human, lets just hope that the human isn't a person with extreme hatred for MLP. That'll mean mass genocide. All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention. I believe that someone should become a person like other people.

HopeTheWanderer 121 February 3, 2015 Share February 3, 2015 It would be a land filled with death, genocide, war and brainwashing. That always happens when humans are in power. "It is part of a good man to do great and noble deeds, though he risk everything." - Plutarch "As long as humans continue to be the ruthless destroyer of other beings, we will never know health or peace. For as long as people massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, those who sow the seed of murder and pain will never reap joy or love." - Pythagoras, Greek philosopher, ca. 530 B.C.
