New Age Equestrian Empire

The Equestrian Empire is made up of multiple species. The term Equestrians is usually used to refer to citizens of the Equestrian Empire or to a member of one of the races originating from Equiis. They are regarded as being one of the most peaceful nations, and the second most advanced right behind the Triarian Collective. They can be regarded as a theocratic empire as there is a official state religion but despite this other different religions are still accepted, and even then there religious nature isn't immediately noticeable upon meeting them. They also have a ability they refer to as magic, which can do many things. The name the New Age Equestrian Empire is only applied to the current version as to ditisngiush them from the old one.

Culture
The Equestrians culture focuses on a few individual values and ideas, these are acceptance of others, individual freedoms, peace with ones self and peace with others, and harmony. Harmony in Equestrian culture is defined as the state of little to no problems, essentially meaning that Harmony would be the Equestrians utopia. There is almost no crime in the Equestrian Empire, partly because magic allows food to be easily grown in massive amounts, making no starvation or impoverished people. The no little to no crime is also caused by the values mentioned above.

The Equestrian religion, which is also a centerpiece of there culture and probably one of the most important aspects of it, is the Church of Faust. Faust is in Equestrian religion, the creator of the Equestrians and magic. The Religion focuses on the same values as mentioned above, as well as progressing forward as fast as possible. It is also known that the Equestrian religion and culture tend to be a bit overpowering, often leading the Equestrians to use it as a method of getting new races to join the Equestrian Empire, and as a way to keep everyone to the same ideology.
