Name of nation:Equestrian Empire
Species: Ponies(Sub-types being alicorn, unicorn, pegasus, earth pony, and the lesser known bat-pony), Griffons, Dragons, Zebras, Buffalo, and Selkath)
Ponies are the most notable of all races in the Equestrian Empire. They lead Equiis prior to there space-age into glory, there scientists and philosophers becoming some of the best known to all equestrian races. They are divided into 4 different sub-types. The first are the Alicorns, only 4 exist. The Alicorns act as the leaders of the Equestrian Empire, and relieve there status for doing a great deed for the Empire. They are a combination of the Unicorn, Pegasus, and Earth Pony, giving them the abilities of all 3. The next on the list is the Unicorn, which are currently the only ones in Equestria who can directly tap into magic. They often act as scholars and scientists, but this does not mean the other sub-types can't be scientists, the unicorns just have more of them becoming scientists. The next are the Pegasi, with the abilities of flight and can manipulate the weather. Some Pegasi have been known to be able to fly beyond the speed of sound, creating a destructive force known as the Sonic Rainboom. The next one is the Earth Pony. They are the strongest of all the sub-types, and have a naturual affinity to plants and animals, making them great farmers. The final sub-type is the bat-pony, a close cousin to the pegasi. While not being as fast as the pegasi they are a lot more stealthy and are granted super hearing. They also exclusively make up the Lunar Guard.
Griffons are often hailed as the warriors of the Equestrian Empire. They tend to be loyal and honest, and often have a naturual combat prowess that no other species in the Equestrian Empire can match. They have sharp claws, and while they can fly it tends to be very slow and only at short distances. The color of there feathers tends to stay more to darker colors, unlike the ponies who coats color can be anywhere in the spectrum.
Dragons are one of the most dangerous races in the Equestrian Empire. While there size varies most tend to reach the size of a small shed, with the biggest being able to shake whole mountains with there snoring and cover cities with smoke. They are also heralded for some of the unique substances, one of which is Dragon Fire, a very destructive force.
Zebras, while not seeming to have anything special to give actually do have a important purpose. They are excellent and making alchemical potions and substances, and have great martial arts abilities. They also tend to be more secretive then the other Equestrian Races, and haven't spread out as much as the other races have.
Buffalo are the last Equestrian of the Equestrian Races within the Equestrian Empire. They have extreme strength, even more so then Earth Ponies. They are also one of the lowest populated races across the Empire, having it took them a while to ascend from a tribal stage to a city stage.
Selkath are the only non-equestrian race in the Equestrian Empire. They can survive underwater for hours on end, and are excellent swimmers. They also have the unique status of most Selkath being apart of the Republic of Selkath, which the central Equestrian Government labels as a "Autonomous Region of the Equestrian Empire". The Selkath Republic borders on being a nation that is a puppet/satellite state of the Equestrian Empire.
