United We Stood (On Earth)

[ParadoxicalOutcome 44]

My only goal really was to kind of tack Equestria onto North America because I thought it fit really well. Making this was actually the moment I went "Welp, I am now a brony" and officialy joined the fandom. Some interesting bits:

 

1. Chernyrossiya: This place was, in this timeline colonised by the Russians around the same time as Alaska. They didn't sell this land like they did Alaska because Equestria wasn't interested and there were far too many Russians to just leave. After the Russian Civil War kicked off, the Tsar escaped to their North American lands, and the people celebrated his arrival. After the USSR was founded, North American Tsardom was officialy recongnised by all North American countries and the Tsardom of Chernyrossiya was founded.

 

2. Borealia: The lands west of the Northern Divide was declared as a different colony than Canada by the UK and later got their independance. Nothing special.

 

3. Meshiko: After the Spanish conquered the Aztecs, they marched north to attack Equestria, thinking it would be just as easy. It wasn't. Keep in mind that the only human country Equestria knew of was Spain. The spanish were driven out of North America in an embarrasing defeat, and until other colonial empires did their own exploration in the area that people would believe that the Spanish goverment discovered and got defeated by colorful horses that could talk and use magic. Later on, this land was sold to Britain partly due to Celestia not wanting to govern land too far to Equestria and partly to establish friendly relations with London.

 

4. USA: During the Thirteen Colonies era, the American settlers established surprisingly friendly relations with the Griffin Kingdom. Later on, due to the large amount of Griffin volunteers and mercanaries participating in the American Independance (More than all pony kinds combined despite Equestria offically supporting the US), Griffons and Americans would be forever linked (Griffons are used instead of Eagles in all places where Eagles are depicted In our timeline)

 

5. Due to Equestria supporting the USA, the US can't justify attacking them and Manifest Destiny instead happens towards the North and South, which results in that tiny "Dominion of Newfoundland & Labrador.

 

6. Greenland & Iceland: I'll admit, I had no idea who to give them to, so I made them a single independant country.

 

7. The map is so close to our tineline because Equestria was incredibly isolationist, which made it so they did little diffrence in Global Politics until around 1800 (Translation, I didn't want to make too wild).

 

Any questions from anyone? I'll gladly answer them!
