A Brony Country

[Paianis 489]

Been thinking about this for a while. What would it be like, socially, in terms of infrastructure, services, and industry? What kind of land would we take over if we had the chance? I'm interested to hear what you guys think (not that it is realistic, of course).

[An Old Head 4,816]

Impossible to calculate. We don't know how many of us are architects, how many of us are versed in very high-level politics and economics needed to be a small-time leader, or in fact how many Bronies there are. It's very likely that we'd flounder though. We thrive as a community, but we wouldn't thrive as a nation. The magic of friendship might make it the most orderly country, but it certainly won't account for flowing economy and ultimately prosperity.

This thread appears to be related to the My Little Pony franchise and/or the Bronydom in general. Thus, it has been sentenced to Sugarcube Corner.

A country/nation controlled and populated by bronies? I don't really see it happening, sure we would sort of have peace but we don't know how it would be when it comes to politics and economics. We might be able to change industrialization but, we could only predict what it could happen. Possible, but it might not happen.

[silverreverb 129]

for infrastructure, its hard to say, we don't know how many are actually capable of the planning and construction necessary to build it. all I can say is that I hope it isn't like ponyville. the only thing in that town that seems fixed is the town hall

 

we'd also need to find out who in the nation would be capable of making an exportable product or else we would be stuck importing just about everything needed to keep the place running.

 

I get the feeling that if we start off with a lot of urban development we would only be hurting ourselves. maybe we could start as an agrarian country to make sure we sustain ourselves and possibly ship out the the surplus.

[Wonderbolt_Spitfire 235]

As much as I'd love to live in a country that was created by bronies, for bronies. It just isn't realistic, there are too many logistical things to consider To actually become a real thriving and recognized nation. Although becoming a Micronation is more reasonable and achievable. It would be something to strive for as it could grow into something bigger.

[Discovery Dream 592]

Well that would suck. There'd be a lot less variety, and what about other fandoms? Would society be based completely around ponies, or would it be like a regular country populated with humans who are also bronies?

 

I'd imagine it would be terribly boring.

[Paianis 489]

Not only would we not know where to start, there would probably be a lot of turbulence between various ethnical groups that moved to Bronyland.

 

Mind you, I think a new society (not specifically bronies) would give the human society to compile everything we've learnt from the past and start a fresh sheet of paper. The question is whether this type of fandom would be good at doing just that.

 

I would second the agrarian thing, the only trouble being that if I wanted to move there at first I'd have to leave all my fancy tech behind. Going back on topic, I think the question really is what attributes of our community would translate to wealth of sorts.

Hard to say, bronies are a much more diverse group than both bronies and non bronies often realize so a brony country wouldn't exactly be monolithic.

[tehsmartcookeh 15]

who say's it can't happen there's bronies in the army, navy, etc so we have plenty of protection even if we just had one or two architectures we still will have enough men/women to build a thriving society but as for a happy family that is uncertain. we the bronies could be happy ourselves but lets say we have kids. I don't think there's a high chance that just because you like my little pony your kids are going to like it (unless you play it in there sleep but that's a form of hypnotising and we don't want that know do we) I'll give you some time to think about all this.

Considering most bronies are teenagers or young adults, I think it would most likely fail. If not, by some miracle, I would not want to live there. I'd expect that there would come a point where a minority of bronies would become fanatical to the point of regarding MLP as some form of religion. After all, the more fanatical people you're around, the more fanatical you tend to become. I can just imagine the Equestrian Loyalist Party promoting mandatory viewing of episodes in every school and punishments for those who resist.

 

I know my idea is kind of far flung, but so is the idea of a brony nation.

I don't exactly see a tyrannical brony nation coming about. A funny idea, but the chances of that happening are roughly the same as Discord becoming the next Princess of Equestria.

Of course I don't see the entire nation as becoming tyrannical, but I would be surprised if a type of brony inquisition/Taliban/Westborrow Baptist Church didn't rise with some degree of dangerous fanaticism.

[Metemponychosis 1,262]

We bronies are parasites. We consume resources and turn them into "pony".

We are better suited to continue sucking mankind of it's resources in the name of the Royal Pony Sisters!

Yes, yes, true. But the idea of a brony country is just so crazy, that even Discord would appreciate it. Yet I personally think it would be better if there were no brony countries, even if the idea was plausible.

[Nerdy Luigi 2,065]

I really don't see anything happening except My Little Pony being displayed on most TV channels. It seems that also there'd be higher equality for LGBT's as the percentage of straights in the brony community is much less than their percentage out of the world. (according to a poll that is SOMEWHERE on here)

Here's an alternative stance on the topic: would it be possible for us to recreate the kind of society Equestria has, with humans (and without magic) instead?

[ReGen 1,466]

Yes! We can build our own Equestria! Long live the Bronies!

There are so many reasons why we can't have our own country, I can't even list them. It would be cool though. 

[Fluttershyfan94 5,742]

It is very impossible but it would be far from perfect, there are enough bronies to start a country. There are more bronies then there are people in my country. All bronies have different opinions, political and etc. So it would be just like any other country, sure we would all share an interest in a certain show but that's all really.

 

So make a brony country, sure. But know that it would be just the same as any other. We would also have the same problems, being a brony doesn't mean that you have the same opinions as other bronies. So no it would not be Equestria in the human world, it would just be a country were everyone liked My little pony. I don't know, I just don't see it happening unless everyone was devoted to live by the morals of MLP and not everyone does that and nobody should be forced to either.

 

So I don't know, it's a fun idea and it can happen but it would be like any other country. I can still promise you all, if I'll ever become a president or a prime minister or just in a position were I can influence my country I shall try making our world a little bit more like Equestria.

We could all go to Germany, choose someone with a nice mustache to lead us all, choose a group to hate on and kill with a shower of pony plushies while making war with the everything so that we can have the pony hegemony primarily of the Earth, and then THE UNIVERSE! MWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

 

I dunno. We could have a neighborhood, I think. Or a building. I'm sure there are lots of bronies who can manage a neighborhood and/or a building. Heck, we do conventions!

[Kitty Cat Moonshire 629]

Well, we'd get nuked. Like, hardcore. They would aim all their nukes at the 'country of ponyfags' and blast us off the planet. The world is not ready for the awesomeness of a Bronation. :I

[LordDiscord 289]

I don't think basing a entire nation off of one show or fandom, however the kind of monarchy that Equestria thrives on is maybe something we could maybe apply to already established nations or to build a nation, around the idea. Though I don't see any of this ever happening.

[Dark Horn 430]

Despite the impossibility and stupidity of the idea, it's still a brilliant thought that is... brilliant.

 

Keep on thinking, though...
