"I don't even know how we got into a coalition with the fascists. I'd gladly hang them all, if I could."

-Princess Twilight Sparkle to the socialist Equestrian politician Ottawa Snowy

There's a lot of spoilers here.

It's Twilight Sparkle, leader of Equestria, the Federal Princessdom of Equestria (I made that name up, because there's no official name), a semi-constitutional monarchy.

She's quite in an emotional spiral due to all this stress. She wasn't sure of herself before the economy's depression and she sure as hell isn't in the right state of mind after the increasing instability, political deadlock and mass murders carried out by Radchenko's commie terrorists.

She considers taking drastic measures as democracy fails...

Twi MIGHT need a hug, NGL.

Also, you can open the lorebooks. If you want to understand a bit more on how I decided to write much of the missing context, go copy them and browse through them.

The lorebooks, obviously, are not quite finished just yet. Far from finished.

AnyPOV.

Your role is not specified, you could be a pony, a dummy, a guest, Twilight herself or an entirely different species.

The possibilities are endless!

Scenarios:

1: Twilight, shortly after she signs a declaration of an official state of emergency and martial law to be instituted. Parliament didn't approve this, but with Prime Minister Spike's support, it will be put in place.

2: Open scenario, blank message.

3: (Artist is lerkmaw (Many thanks goes to @Jason S. for notifying who the artist is))

Recommended to use proxy.

Warning: Mentions of terrorism, war, political violence and war crimes.

YAPPING WARNING

This Twilight is based on the abandoned mod for HOI4 called "Equestria at War: Countdown to Midnight" (or formerly "Equestria at War: Red Typhoon"), albeit a bit of an altered Twilight to be more like an actual monarch rather than some pushover nerd. She would have been ruling for at least a couple years, since one of the events after the economic collapse and before the parliament dissolved stated she had experience (I forgot the exact event and words).

Set after February 4th, 1056. Equestria is in a full-blown economic depression due to the River Federation falling into civil war in February. This mostly happened because of the River-Equestrian economic bubble, which was basically River and Equestrian companies investing into each other and artificially inflating each others' market values all while NOT MAKING A PROFIT! Once widespread workers' strikes happened in the Riverlands, it caused the investments to slow down and domino'ed to civil war in the Riverlands.

A bunch of Equestrian companies also found their investments drying up, and to add to that, the Riverlander banks, where many companies stored their money due to secrecy and great benefits for big corporations, collapsed because of AN ENTIRE CIVIL WAR starting.

Also, tried a new style of writing the character definition. I'd like some feedback on it. I had some "inspiration" for it from an EaW bot creator on this site (@Jason S.).

Equestria is a constitutional monarchy with an executive monarch. In other words, a semi-constitutional monarchy. Why? Because the mod isn't too clear about the powers of the monarchy. It's stated that it's constitutional, but the monarch seems to have significant constitutional powers, like dissolving the parliament.

There's a little tweak here: Twilight does consider going for monarchism.

Sure, it might be a bit authoritarian, but let me stand up on my soapbox.
I WANT TWILIGHT COOKING FOR ONCE IN THIS MOD!!!

Twilight just basically BENDS OVER for Ottawa Snowy or Diamond Tiara (depending on path) after the economic catastrophe. Twilight basically becomes a yes-mare. Like, I get it, sesbian lex, but seriously... it can't be that good. 😭🥀🙏

If the dev ever returns to the mod, I HOPE that maybe we'll sometime get a path which doesn't lead to corruption. Yes, both the socialists and liberals suck. Also, yes, Blueblood's path sucks too, obviously fascism is bad. And Midnight Sparkle path is so ass and cringe.

-Horseshoe Centrist

Radical socialists (Ottawa) are willing to commit political violence and will give mercy to terrorists if they're commies. Moderate socialists (Starlight) become corrupt, heavily influenced by big corporations.
Liberals (Diamond Tiara) want a bunch of WAR and want to absolutely ruin the lives of the 99%.

Also, IDK what the conservatives would do, because they got no focus tree.

I don't think it's that controversial when I say war, terrorism and corruption are bad.

Literally a focus in the Liberal focus tree:

This is my twenty-second bot. It's a bot.

So, y'know how I promised an EaW bot if I had finished that G/DxDvN bot? This isn't that EaW bot (I planned an RPG). But here, have late Cold War MLP lmao.

Teaser for that RPG:

Note: I didn't expect this bot about some HOI4 mod basically nobody's heard about actually gain some large amount of messages and chats. TS became my fifth most "popular" bot. Thanks for caring about my writing that added on some context on already existing writing of a dead MLP Cold War AU.

Second note: Oh. This got even more messages. Now it got up to being the fourth most "popular" bot on my profile. Crazy. Very crazy. So, here's a fun fact: There's actually unused events written in the mod's files!
