A Map of Equestria

Description

Despite saying I wouldn’t, I’ve given in to the temptation to post this. A companion piece to the Lunaverse map, I present Celestia’s Equestria.

Compared with the Lunaverse map, you’ll notice a few things:
Equestria is much larger, incorporating several regions that were independent pony nations in the Lunaverse. Rather than wanting protective buffer states surrounding Equestria, Celestia wants all ponies to be united in one nation.
• It’s the Griffin Empire, not the Griffin Kingdoms – a much more centralised, populated and powerful nation. Celestia is less proactive than Luna in dealing with threats outside her nation and didn’t step in to stop this process. It’s ruled by His Altitude, the Emperor of all Griffs, and constantly feuds with independent nations it thinks it should rule (namely the Twin Kingdoms, the FGR and the Hippogriffs).
Naqah controls the minors north of the Crescent sea. These are donkey majority, and are unhappy with being ruled by camels – I see it as a sort of Ottomans/Balkans situation. They’ll probably become independent eventually, but not any time soon.
• There’s a bigger terra nullius gap between Equestria and the griffins. This is probably because of what happened to the Crystal Empire (in the Lunaverse, it never disappeared) and griffins wanting to steer clear. Maybe settlements in that area are prohibited by treaty to prevent wars between griffins and ponies. Or maybe it’s just unpleasant land. The Crystal Empire is small and backwards, entirely dependent on Equestria and likely to be annexed soon. This will no doubt upset the griffins.
• The Mild West is not considered a nation of its own, reflecting what we saw of it in Over a Barrel.


With apologies to every person whose ideas and work I’ve incorporated into this, most particularly RainbowDoubleDash, Sieurin, DSNesmith and Nasco

Hi! I wanted to ask how you made this!

I am looking to use this as a base, with your permission, for my own map of Equestria for a story I am doing.
