|---|---|---|
Peace At Last
Will an ear to the streets of Las Pegasus. Relish in the silence. No incessant communist prattling. No PCA screaming of a fake state. No monarchists begging for a crown. No gunshots as the police fights looters and loose criminals. No chaos, no more. Peace, at last, has come to Las Pegasus. Mayor Rokenhar has won.

The following will bypass the focus:

Look to the 'Balancing The House of Cards' part of the focus tree to prevent this |
Fire Ball and Chain
Alright, no more dawdling - now that we've brought some semblance of stability to the country, it's time we begun picking up the pieces. Our bureaucracy is, to say the least, bloated and inefficient. We've some pruning to do, put old politicians out to pasture, recalibrate the entire government to suit independence. And get rid of that damned Ball and Chain.
|
|
|
The Restoration Of Order
Enough mucking about. With the political situation stabilized and the food issue sorted out, it's time Mayor Rokenhar put his hoof down. We've braved the worst of the storm, and we're finally ready to reap the rewards of our determination. Rejoining Equestria is an idea of the past. Las Pegasus can finally stand on its own legs. Order, at last.
|
|
 Political Chaos
Though there are still occasional protests, and though traitors still scheme in darkened rooms, Las Pegasus has returned to a semblance of normalcy. The Mayor has ensured that essential services remain operational at all times, and life is beginning to return to its typical rhythm.
|
Deal With the Harmonists
With the thoughts of reunification having left the minds of most citizens, we can finally pinpoint our efforts on stomping out any last, stubborn anti-independence movement. Offer amnesty to those who agree to stand down, and prepare the court for treason charges against those who remain adamantly pro-Equestrian.
|
|
|
Call the National Guard
A cursory look at the streets of Las Pegasus is enough to show that crime is not dying down at pace we had hoped for. The police department is still struggling to cope with the wave of criminals from the days of anarchy, so we must call for backup, in the form of the National Guard, until criminal activities lower.
|
|
|
Punish the Opportunists
In the chaos of secession, several corporations believed the government would collapse and, therefore, they instead decided to support more radical opposition fronts. It's about time we got back at them, and made sure to establish a loyal industrial base. This can also be a great opportunity to seize the assets of some unsavory ponies, such as Pine Chest.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
The Mayor's Las Pegasus
The last anarchic cells have surrendered. Protests are finally a rarity. The value of the currency is rising, and the amount of "down with the government!" graffiti has declined drastically. Every pressing issue that plagued the city at the onset of independence has been dealt with, and finally, Mayor Rokenhar can have a breath of peace.
|
|
 The Mayor's Republic
|
Reinforcing the House of Cards
Though Las Pegasus is at last strong and stable, Mayor Rokenhar will not live long to see it. All of the chaos, the stress - it's taken a toll on the old pony. The days drag on, harder and harder, and it won't be long before he takes his last breath. Time is short. Las Pegasus was his dream, and he's all that holds the city together. Las Pegasus dies with Mayor Rokenhar. That cannot be allowed.
|
|
|
Ensure a Standing Army
The foundation of a strong military is set in place, though the troops are still green, and the officer core is still questionable. It's time to clean house - remove the corrupt officers, the incompetent generals, all of the consequences of earlier cronyism. Ensure Las Pegasus has a safe future.
|
|
|
Root Out Corruption
Much of Las Pegasus' army is comprised of ponies not particularly skilled, but which Rokenhar could trust at the time of its creation. Now that the threat of conflict is largely gone, we can afford a more diverse, and thus less corrupt, government. It's about time we've performed a general audit of the army's higher-ups - see who stays and who's got to go.
|
|
|
Fight for the City
We've been left with a strong core of competent, fiercely loyal officers. The only problem is who they are fiercely loyal to - Mayor Rokenhar. Once he leaves, the army will crumble back into corruption and croynism. We need to finally bring something to Las Pegasus - patriotism. Teach the soldiers to fight not for Mr. Rokenhar, but for the city. For the country. For its people. For Las Pegasus.
|
|
|
Industrial Reform
Las Pegasus is already a highly-urbanized and well-industrialized area, but that doesn't mean there's no room for improvement. Ensuring the people and entrepreneurs that the government hasn't forgotten about the economy will help the people have more faith in the market - and will give us more assets to work with, in the long term.
|
|
|
Fairer Taxation
It's about time we handled that issue. Yes, that issue. The big elephant in the room and the even bigger mountain of papers in the Ministry of Finance - taxation. Las Pegasus works on an Equestrian system which is ludicrously, almost comically unsuited for independence. Giving it a good overhaul will lead to overall fairer taxation, and thus a happier populace.
|
|
 Fairer Taxes
|
Reach out to the Unions
Though the communists were defeated, they still have a strong support base with the workers, unsurprisingly. Reaching out to them with promises of better worker conditions and pay could generously bridge the gap between them and the government, and finally disarm the ticking time-bomb attached to the economy that the trade unions have been.
|
|
|
Lay Down the Law
Though the police has been growing more and more efficient in handling the country's issues lately, it's still following a very crude, decentralized system of laws. Concentrating and assembling an easy-to-follow, strict-yet-fair law code will lift another stone off the country's back.
|
|
|
An Actual Constitution
Right now, Las Pegasus' "constitution" looks more like a school scrapbook than a government lawbook - full of scratches, footnotes, ink marks, parentheses and contraditions. Reforming it into a more concise book of fundamental laws and obligations for both the government and the population has been long overdue.
|
|
|
Proper Police
The Las Pegasus Metropolitan Police has served us well so far, but their days have finally come to an end. With a new constitution, independence, and a new law-code, it's time to throw out the old and bring out the new. The National Affairs Bureau - NAB. Coined by Rokenhar himself.
|
|
|
Dark Times Ahead
Las Pegasus can be as stable as Rokenhar can bring himself to make it - but if there's nobody to pick up the mantle after his death, all of that progress, that stability, that effort, will go to waste. Las Pegasus must not be allowed to fall into chaos again. In these uncertain times, an election is out of the question. We must find a suitable, competent heir.
|
|
|
Appoint an Heir
We have a lot of options to choose from. Everyone is eager to wield the reins of power, but there are only a few who are worthy. The more trustworthy civil servants are already combing through files and reports, and every possible candidate for the next mayor position goes through Rokenhar, first. Of course we're not going to call them "heir" - that'd put the monarchists in way too big a tizzy.
|
|
|
Ensure a Smooth Succession
We've found a good heir - loyal, fierce, and ready for the challenges Las Pegasus must face ahead. Now, we just need to make sure the people support them, and that they'll survive in the dog-eat-dog government. Thankfully, Mayor Rokenhar still has favours to cash in, and contacts he can call up, to ensure succession will be smooth, bloodless, and dramaless.
|
|
|
Loose Ends
Mayor Rokenhar has kept a family picture on his nighstand since Las Pegasus gained independence. For so long, the city has been his life. He's tried his best not to forget his family, his wife and son. But he never found time to return to them, with the city matters being so pressing. Now, in the twilight of his life, he can postpone them no longer. This may be his last chance to see them again.
|
|
|
A Call To the Past
He's been sending them letters, hoping for a reply. A message, a sign of life, anything. He's sent a new letter every single day, without a single sign. Until today. 'We miss you.' followed an address. At last, the passage of time seems less dreadful.
|
|
|
The Swan Song
There's a lot of things he wanted to try out, at one point. Gardening, for one. Or, well, learning to grow plants. Learning to play golf. Taking a trip to the Pinglands, at one point. The more the days wear on, the longer the list seems. Maybe he should tick off some of the items - make sure he leaves behind a legacy worth more than the city.
|
|
|
|
Global Las Pegasus
We've already established formal relations with other nations through our earlier trade agreements back during the famine, but it's about time we've stepped up our game. It's time to push Las Pegasus out onto the world stage, in all its revitalized, rebuilt glory.
|
|
|
Collaborate With Equestria
We've had our ups and downs, yes, but Equestria is still our largest and arguably strongest neighbour. Perhaps it would be wisest for us to take back some of the less savory accusations we've made on the onset of independence and try to repair our relationship, ask for an alliance, and pray that they don't bomb the Tartarus out of us.
|
|
|
Normalise Immigration
The enormous border fence between us and Equestria has been an eyesore ever since it was cobbled together on the onset of independence. It's about time we took it down, and established a more amiable, less hostile relationship with our neighbour in regards the immigration.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
Open Door Policy
|
Equestrian Science Collaboration
While Las Pegasus is quite advanced, it still doesn't hold a candle to Equestria's sprawling research infrastructure. Patching into that network of universities, laboratories and research centers would boost the country's scientific base significantly.
|
|
|
Request Investments
Though ravaged by civil war, the Equestrian economy is still flowering. Certainly they have a little bit of spare profit to invest into Las Pegasus. After all, a few bit of investments could go a long way, and can only work to further bridge the gap between us. Not to mention, you know, money.
|
|
|
The Equestrian Rangers
We have the National Guard, yes, but few soldiers can stand up against the famed Equestrian Rangers. Battlehardened from combat, they will make a fine addition to Las Pegasus' army, and Equestria would likely not mind having a tiny foothold of influence in Las Pegasus' army.
|
|
|
Request Recognition
We've come a long way, Equestria and Las Pegasus. From enemies, back to friends through circumstance. The wish to reunite is long gone, but that doesn't mean there should be any animosity between us. It's time to bury the hatchet - it's time to request recognition from our mother-nation.
|
| |
Collaborate with the South
The Southern Confederate States are in a pickle much like ours - whereas we were the ones to abandon the Canterlot government, they were abandoned by said government, therefore they seceded. As two nations born of the same bloated empire, we are sisters of the south, and we should work to improve relations and establish an alliance.
|
|
|
|
Encourage Southern Migration
We have all that the south needs, and the south has all that we need - we have a thriving economy and infrastructure, they have the population to supply them. Encouraging migration into Waffleland would provide jobs for southerners, and extra ponypower for Las Pegasus.
|
|
|
Southern Military Training
The south has seen confrontation with Equestria far more fierce than we have. They have experience which Las Pegasus deeply lacks and knowledge of modern warfare that we need if we don't want to fall behind militarily-speaking. We should work to learn from them, to incorporate some southern tactics into the Las Pegasus army.
|
|
|
The Desert Rangers
The southern gunslinger rangers are renowned for their battle-prowess and fierceness. Convincing the S.C.S. to offer us a few battalions would be a great boost for Las Pegasus' army.
|
|
|
Resource-Sharing
Both of our nations have something that the other craves - the south has its vast fields of black gold, and Las Pegasus has its mighty working steel mills. Offering some of our resources to the other would be a great way to further intertwine our economies, and to greatly improve relations.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
The Second Republic
After such strides towards friendship, mutual understanding, and military assistance, it's about time we've established even closer relations with the S.C.S., by declaring Las Pegasus to the be the first addition to the Confederation. We will remain sovereign, but we will be closer politically, economically and militarily than ever.
|
|
 Republican Spirit
|
Staunchly Defiant
Las Pegasus doesn't need allies - all of our strength, our might, we've acquired facing all hardships alone. We are ready to finally stand on our own hooves, separate from any other power, ruled by a single will, governed by a single destiny. Las Pegasus stands alone, determined and ready. A rock of stability in a sea of chaos.
|
|
|
A Defensive Mindset
Las Pegasus, though strong, is dwarfed in size and population by its neighbours. We simply do not have the raw ponypower and resources needed to wage offensive warfare. Therefore, we will let our enemies come to us. Dig in. Prepare. Fight. And win. Let their blood fertilize our fields.
|
|
 Defensive Stance
|
The Las Pegasus Rangers
Some officers of the National Guard and other facets of the military have shown a kind of ferocity, combat-excellence and superiority on the field that could match even Equestria's famed rangers. It's about time we established our own Ranger Corps.
|
|
|
Creep North
Las Pegasus needs room to breathe. Though we arguably have room southwards into Waffleland, the city hugs the northern border uneasily. It's about time we stretched out a little.
|
|
|
|
Creep South
Much of Waffleland is dominated by agriculture to fuel the main city, but even now, the food situation is unsteady at best. The lands south are vast and fertile, and could provide great opportunities for more food.
|
|
|
Consolidate Our Grip
It's time to hang up the hatchet. We've carved the territory we need out of our neighbours, now the question is all about integrating it into Las Pegasus proper.
|
|
|
Reorganising the Army
It's about time we looked at our armed forces. The army has been largely neglected. It was always a "we'll fix it later" issue - but later is now, and Las Pegasus can wait no longer. We are threatened by Equestria on the daily, and it's about time we established a proper, professional army for our defense.
|
|
 Shambolic Military
The Mayor has set up a new chain of command to integrate the PCA and CLA into the National Guard. This will be a very difficult process, but it is absolutely necessary if we are to have a functioning army.
|
Integrate the Communists
Though they tried to destroy our government, the CLA is still a political party in our government, and it'd be tyrannical to end them. So, if you can't beat them, make them join you. By enrolling the reds, we'll be making sure they remain under our constant supervision. And, if there's ever a war, at least they'll be the ones to die first.
|
|
|
Integrate the Fascists
Though they tried to destroy our government, the PCA is still a political party in our government, and it'd be tyrannical to end them. So, if you can't beat them, make them join you. By enrolling the fascists, we'll be making sure they remain under our constant supervision. And, if there's ever a war, at least they'll be the ones to die first.
|
|
|
Expand the National Guard
As the needs of our police force rise steadily with our growing prosperity and our growing criminal underworld, the National Guard has made multiple requests for extra personnel. It's about time we answered those requests and offered our boys some well-deserved help.
|
|
|
Restore the Officer Corps
Even after the political chaos that plagued Las Pegasus for so long, there's still a multitude of skilled officers ready to offer their services. A few extra medals and some adequately-oversized cigars later, they almost look the part.

The New Army
Soldiers, check. Guns, check. Generals, check. A lack of inner strife, check-check. We have all the ingredients to begin proper work on our armed forces. As the sun sets over Equestria, in the bronze light of dusk, the new army of Las Pegasus stands strong, proud, and ready to serve.
|
|
 Reinvigorated Army
|
Expand the Army
After a cursory look, it's become very obvious that more ponies are needed to fill the ranks. A hoofful of recruits per trench won't do - we need artillerymen, snipers, shock-troops, riflemen, gunners, tankers. We have a long road ahead - but the journey from Las Pegasus to Canterlot begins with a single step.
|
|
|
Bomb the Tartarus Out of Them
Las Pegasus doesn't have the ponypower for heroic charges or grand tsunamis of soldiers crashing into enemy lines as seen in action movies. Our soldiers' lives are precious - shells, however, are cheap. Why fight, when we can just bombard our enemy to smithereens?
|
|
|
Shell Assembly Lines
We can't bombard our enemies with spit and rocks - if we want our artillery to do more damage than a light spring rain, we have to make sure we have the shells to fire. Investing in more adquate production lines for artillery pieces will make sure a lack of armament will not be an issue.
|
|
 Shell Assembly Lines
|
Bigger Gun, Better Performance
While Las Pegasus' artillery pieces are nothing to turn one's muzzle up at, it's wise to make sure we don't fall behind in the arms race. "Don't fix what ain't broke", as the old saying goes - but nothing stops us from improving our existing artillery.
|
|
|
Artillery Factories
As the army grows, the need for more artillery pieces to support our soldiers becomes apparent. Rather than putting undue strain on our other production centers, it'd be wiser to dedicate a whole new manufacturing sector for armament production.
|
|
|
|
Improved Rifles
As important as artillery is, it's still important that the soldier is ready and well-equipped. After all, the fire pieces only exist to soften up the enemy that the infantry must then fight - so we should make sure that said infantry only has access to the best weapons.
|
|
 Firearm Quality Assurance
|
Eyes on the Sky
We have big guns, yes - that's very good. But, those big guns are also immobile, and would be very easily targeted and destroyed by bombers or fast-moving tanks. Therefore, we should make sure that we don't leave them exposed by giving some attention to our anti-tank and anti-air capabilities.
|
|
|
Not One Wasted Life
With our limited ponypower, it only makes sense that we make sure none of it goes to waste. Our soldiers should have access to the same care in the field that civilians get in the city, and that means mobile hospitals, field kitchens, intensive care units, better medicine - anything for the fighting pony.
|
|
|
Outmaneuver the Tartarus Out of Them
Las Pegasus doesn't have the ponypower to fight a drawn-out war of attrition, to let the days on the calendar drag on. In warfare, time is not on the smaller nation's side. If we are to win, we must make sure victory would be swift, unchallengeable, and uncounterable. We must strike fast, kill fast, and win fast.
|
|
|
Armoured Spearhead
Strength, firepower, and raw armoured might. The tank makes or breaks a mobile army, and we must make sure that our own armour is the best of the best, the strongest of the strongest, if we want to survive. Our tanks will punch a hole into the enemy lines that our infantry will then exploit.
|
|
|
Strike From the Heavens
We cannot simply rely on our ground forces for a breakthrough. If we want to rule the battlefield, we must focus on ruling the skies above it, first. Aerial supremacy must not be ignored, and we must make sure our fighters, bombers and CAS are among the best if we don't want the spear to crumble against the defense.
|
|
|
Armour Factories
Tanks, half-tracks, and trucks are useful, but costly to build. If we want adequate production numbers, we have to make sure a decent portion of our industry focuses on supplying the front lines with the needed equipment.
|
|
|
Motorised Spine
If the armour is the tip of the spearhead, the motorized brigades will be the hilt and spine. Once the tanks break a hole in the enemy defenses, our motorized and mechanised divisions will rush through and exploit the defensive gap, and crush our enemies before they even have a chance of fighting back.
|
|
|
Armoured Reliance
The average soldier can only take so many bullets - which is not many at all. Armoured cars, however, are faster, stronger and more defensible than ponies. Introducing them to our field operations will only increase success rate on the battlefield.
|
|
 Streamlined Armored Car Production
|
Overhauled Production Methods
The dusty, hard-hooved workers on the manufacturing front have become expert craftsponies in the field of armour-production. Utilizing recent breakthroughs in factory efficiency, combined with new workman-expertise will only mean cheaper, more reliable armoured fighting vehicles for Las Pegasus.
|
|
The Tank Factories of Las Pegasus
|
Outsmart the Tartarus Out of Them
War is more than a soldier sitting in a foxhole. War is maps, plans, production numbers, lists and logistics. The generals, officers and captains are just as important as the soldiers themselves, and victory will best be achieved not through mindless fighting, but through tactful planning.
|
|
|
|
A Stronger Guard
The National Guard are some of the most elite units Las Pegasus has to offer - strong, determined, courageous and loyal. Making sure that our army is an elite one should be a top priority, and strengthening the National Guard will, in turn, strengthen our army.
|
|
|
The Engineer Corps
The engineers stand as the new foundation of modern warfare - they dig the trenches the rifleponies wait in, they lay the minefields the rifleponies defend, they set up the artillery that supports the riflemen. They are the cornerstone of every plan, and a weak engineer core means a weak army.
|
|
|
Cement Factories
Cement is the material of warfare. Lead builds bullets, steel builds tanks, aluminum builds planes... but cement builds bunkers, trenches, defense strongpoints. If we let our enemies come to us, we should be ready to give them a cold, concrete welcome.
|
|
|
Elite Weaponry
We are ponies - magic flows through our blood, our flesh, our muscles. Our magic is not just a crutch, a novelty, though. It's our biggest, strongest weapon. We must hone our skills with this weapon if we want victory.
|
|
|
Magesoldiers
There is a thin line between warfare and wizardry. Our pegasi can rule the skies in place of planes, our earth ponies can charge forward in place of motorized, our unicorns can blast enemies away with all of the might of artillery. We have all of the ingredients for an army of wizards - we must only combine them.
|
|
|
Every Family a Soldier
We are surrounded by enemies. We are surrounded by nations jealous of Las Pegasus' wealth, power, and beauty. We are a lone rock in the churning sea of violence. To survive, we must fight. To survive, all must play their part - and there exists no part to play more honourable than service.
|
|
 Every Family A Soldier
|
The Food Issue
One of the biggest issues of our independence is self-sustainability. We are a very populous nation in relation to the amount of arable land at our disposal. We didn't have time to stockpile food before we seceded, and with all commerce having to pass through Equestria... we need to find a solution before Las Pegasus starves to death.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
{{{1}}} |
|
|
Trade Relations
This should take out two birds with one stone - by establishing trade relations with other nations, we also place Las Pegasus on the world stage as a sovereign state. Emissaries were sent all over the continent - Olenia, the Changelings, the Yaks, Stalliongrad and even Equestria - though we don't know how much to expect from them.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
{{{1}}} |
|
Asking for Help
However humiliating it may be, Las Pegasus cannot survive without the help of its neighbours. With rations growing more and more meagre by the day, and with the hungry populace starting to look across the border fence to the giant Equestrian food stores, it's time we sent out emissaries requesting help.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
{{{1}}} |
|
Encourage Farming
Waffleland is not nearly as urbanized as Las Pegasus to the north, and that may be exactly what we need to combat the issue of food. Constructing irrigation systems and encouraging agriculture in the region will relieve a huge strain off of the country's food intake.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
{{{1}}} |
|
No More Grapes
To survive the food crisis, we must make the best out of our situation, by maximizing the amount of efficiency extracted from our limited soil. Areas like viticulture, fruticulture and pasturing are not at all efficient in relation to the amount of space they take up, so we must refocus on planting high-yield plants like grain and maize.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
{{{1}}} |
|
|
Safe From Famine
All our efforts are finally paying off. Food yield is in the green - we're producing more than we're consuming. Granted, only barely more than we're consuming, but as time goes on, yield will slowly rise. Yet another crisis has been averted, and for the first time in a long time, ponies of Las Pegasus can enjoy full, unrationed meals.
|
|
|
Self-Sufficiency
Surrounded by enemies, we are in no position to make demands. If Las Pegasus was to look outwards for economic benefit, it would find itself on the short end of the proverbial stick. Therefore, it must not look beyond its borders, but within. We are a nation of many virtues. Self-sufficiency is not a choice, but a necessity. The autarkic way is the way to go.
|
One of the following must be true: We have a military government Rockfeller is in power We have a Syndicalist government Mr.Horse is in power
|
 Recovering Economy
Thanks to strict regulation and management of the economy by skilled planners, the worst of the economic chaos has ended, though it will still be a long while before we reach pre-crisis levels.
|
The Steel Industry
Steel is the backbone of a modern nation. Its uses range from civilian construction to military affairs, and one can never have enough of it. Ensuring that Las Pegasus has a steady supply of steel means ensuring resource independence in the long run.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Synthetic Oil
Las Pegasus' economy chugs petroleum like it's water, and our national reserves are likely not large enough to sustain further growth. Therefore, rather than trading for it with the outside world, why not synthesize our own?
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Encourage Civilian Industry
The government alone should not be the one pushing for industrial growth. Private industry and entrepeneurs are the foundation of a healthy economy, and Las Pegasus should be no different.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
National Development Plan
Roads are the veins and arteries of states. They connect the production hubs that Las Pegasus could simply not function without. We should make plenty sure that our roads and highways are calibrated to support our rapidly-growing economy.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Recalibrate the Economy
With the prices steadily stabilizing, the mass-unemployment slowly dwindling and the lack of basic goods quickly dissipating, the people are beginning to have renewed hope in Las Pegasus' economy, and the negative effects of our sudden independence are rapidly being forgotten.
|
|
 Calibrated Economy
Tactical investment, properly applied, has caused swift and sustainable growth in our economy. Every day new houses are built, new factories open, and the wheels of industry turn ever faster.
|
|
Military Industrial Complex
We have a steady civilian industry, but wars will not be won by flinging toasters or fine luxury cars at the enemy. Allocating some extra funds to military industry will make sure our soldiers don't happen to run out of bullets mid-fight.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Eyes Below
Waffleland has been somewhat neglected so far, at least economically. The region has been shunned to simply being the nation's breadbasket and that little more, but after only a little bit of prospecting, we've unearthed a treasure trove's worth of natural resources waiting to be extracted.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
 Waffleland Excavation Company
|
Our Inner Magic
Industry, however powerful, still pales in comparison to the might of ponies. Magic is at our hooftips, and the world is simply our oyster. The horn of a unicorn is the perfect substitute for any level of fine machinery. The wings of a pegasus could beat any aircraft in a race. The mighty hooves of an earth pony work better than any mining equipment. We have everything we need within ourselves.
|
|
|
|
The Recyling Act
Our resources are not infinite. They're very finite, in fact. Therefore, we must not let anything go to waste. One pony's rubbish is another pony's treasure, and nowhere should that ring truer than in Las Pegasus. We've got plenty of trash - plastic, paper, rubber... rather than chucking it all in the sea and killing the turtles, let's see if there's any way we can put it to better use.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
 Pegasusite Frugality
|
The Academy of Las Pegasus
At last, we haven't only survived our independence economically, but flourished because of it. The specialized, intelligent ponies of the new academy will leave their mark on Las Pegasus' research projects for the better, and their advancements will be remembered for generations to come.
|
|
|
Embracing Globalism
Las Pegasus is a bastion of potential growth. In the wartorn countryside left in the wake of the Equestrian Civil War, we stand tall and unscathed, the industrial machine ready to whirr the life with the force of an awoken tiger. We have everything others could want - why not give it to them? For a price, of course.
|
One of the following must be true: The Mayor is in power We have a democratic government Rockfeller is in power
|
Recovering Economy
|
A Lil' Tax Cut
Money is the universal constant of growth - so Las Pegasus cannot grow if her citizens are spending all of their money on taxes. An itsy-bitsy tax cut will hardly impact our finances, and will in turn leave many entrepeneurs with just the financial surplus to kickstart new companies and industry.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Connect the Nation
The dusty backroads of the labyrinthine spaghetti of highways across the nation - and especially in Waffleland - will simply not be enough for our plans of a vast, expansive trading economy. We need asphalt, railways, stations... we need to more properly connect Las Pegasus.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Encourage Agriculture
The threat of famine is one long-conquered by Las Pegasus, and while the food stores are certainly not going to dry up anytime soon, it can never hurt to have a surplus, can it? Encouraging farming and agriculture will not only boost the economy, but also encourage population growth.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
 Agricultural Boom
|
Waffleand Resettlement Act
So many of the nation's newcomers head straight for the city and walk right by the sprawling, golden plains of Waffleland. A shame, really - it's a lovely place! New legislation should ensure that it will not end up barren, and that the economic gap between rural Waffleland and highly urbanized Las Pegasus will slowly be bridged.

|
|
Economic Upswing
It was expected that we'd recover. After all, Las Pegasus is too large and finanfically well-off to be in the economic gutter for too long - but nobody quite expected such a quick and drastic upswing. It's safe to say, now, that the ponies have, at last, regained faith in the economy.
|
|
 Booming Economy
|
Expand the Industrial Districts
Unemployment is a thing of the past - now, companies are complaining about a lack of workers! Infrastructure projects to expand the industrial districts and to invite foreign labour will allow Las Pegasus to keep up with the ponypower demands.
|
|
|
|
Dealing in Arms
Industry is more than refrigerators, radios, sports cars and typewriters. To some, it's bullets, machine guns, tanks and bombs. The economy runs on consumers during peace time, but should war come knocking on Las Pegasus' door, we'll have to make sure the enemy doesn't catch us with our pants down.
|
|
|
Free Press
We have outgrown the red scare, or the PCA scare, or the-whatever-scare. Our ponies now have opinions the government doesn't need to be scared of, and we should allow them to speak their mind.
|
|
The Right to Write
|
The Electronics Trade
As our understanding of electricity and circuits grow, we've come to understand that complex circuitry can have plenty of uses - from military applications in the form of radars and computers, to civilian goods like hairdriers, radios, etcetera. Anyone want a microwave? |
|
|
|
Scientific Communities
Embracing globalism has allowed Las Pegasus to procure specialized, trained ponies from every field and facet of society. From artists such as painters and musicians, to industrialists specializing in everything from car construction to armament production, and, of course, to scientists ready and eager to make the world a better place.
|
|
|
|
A Shrewd Economy
Though there are some that hiss at the concept of Las Pegasus becoming a gambling den, all proverbial roads point towards a gambling economy. We have it all - a beautiful vista, a beautiful city, the potential for riches... Las Pegasus' got it all, baby!
|
One of the following must be true: The Mayor is in power Mr.Horse is in power
|
Recovering Economy
|
|
An Open Door Policy
It would be somewhat detrimental if it was our own citizens gambling and getting drunk and rowdy - an open door policy would welcome plenty of rich foreigners with wide, open arms, and give our pubs, hotels and casinos a stable influx of visitors.
|

Open Door Policy

|
New Tram Lines
All of these pretty buildings are nothing but attractions on the city skyline if the ponies can't get to them. Connecting the city through a thorough yet easy-to-navigate network of trams, metros and buslines should allow our visitors to easily go (and spend money) from point A to point B.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
The Private Sector
The government has no place in this shrewd economic scheme - it's all about the private, entrepreneurial citizen. The most we can do is look the other way whenever something unscrupulous happens, and make sure the city remains functional and pretty. And collecting our due taxes, of course. Power... to the private sector!
|
|
|
|
Looser Labour Laws
Hey, to make an omelet, you've got to break a couple of eggs, and to ensure economic growth, you've got to break a couple of worker-safety laws. Good thing we handled the commies, or else the unions would've been all over us by now.
|
|
|
An Economic Surge
Profits were almost... instantaneous. All it took was some advertising and a good first impression to get the ball rolling. This whole scheme has worked brilliantly, and Las Pegasus grows more and more by the day. Not particularly renowned for a hearty manufacturing sector, the economy largely relies on services, which work hoof-in-hoof with the tourist sector.
|
|
 Service Economy
|
|
Employ the Masses
Having a service-oriented economy is great for jobs, because not every employee has to be built like a fridge with hooves to survive the workplace. We've got plenty of open positions in all manner of sectors, and we've also got plenty of workers eager to make a living.
|
|
 Plentiful Labor
|
|
Private Arms Dealers
You know, why build our own armament factories when we can simply employ arms dealers from all over Equestria to do that facet of the industry for us? All of the expertise, knowledge and training without any of the drawbacks!
|
|
|
|
Reinvest in Industry
We've been neglecting the manufacturing sector a little too much, now. Trickleing some of the profits made from the services and gambling back into industry should make sure that Las Pegasus' economy doesn't become too lobsided.
|
|
|
|
New Jobs in Waffleland
We shouldn't let our rural neighbours in Waffleland get the short end of the stick, here. Las Pegasus is growing at an incredible rate, and we shouldn't leave our bretheren to starve. Investing in Waffleland farming will make sure Las Pegasus will never have to face the threat of famine ever again. And, it would also leave us with a surplus of pastries. A croissant, anyone?

The following will bypass the focus:

Agricultural Boom
|
|
The One Percent Research
Our lax immigration policies and general attractiveness has lead to Las Pegasus becoming a melting-pot for all sorts of ideas and projects. Scientists from all over the globe flock to participate in new R&D sectors popping up all over Las Pegasus. Who knew gambling and crime attracted so many nerds?
|
|
|
The PCA Triumphant
Victory is ours! We have defeated the communist menace and prevented them from getting power, as well as took full control against the incompetent Mayor of Las Pegasus. It's time to secure this city and make sure all unpatriotic traitors to our city try to destroy it from within.
|
Shambolic Military
The Patriotic Citizen Army have removed Communistic elements from our army. This is a vital step, but however well-trained they are, they are as yet just a paramilitary force, so they are not yet ready to fight a proper war. We must reform them if we are to have any hope of building a true army.
| |
Rally the Militia
We need our militia to mobilize immediately to move and secure the city. Every waiting moment that we don't have them out, the communists will try to destroy our society. Let's stop them!
|
|
|
|
Blame the Reds
Ever since our city has become independent, commies have tried to ruin it again and again, and turn our glorious city into a socialist prison. They caused the violence and chaos, and they are the real reason the civil war happened.
|
|
|
Celestia is a Commie
Princess Celestia has been a communist all her life. Throughout her reign, she has been sympathetic to communists. She allowed Marksists to spread their ideology, she allowed Stallionists to set up a communist regime to threaten way of our life. And she allowed communists to ruin our great city, we will not have her in good memory.
|
|
|
The Mayor's Disgrace
The Mayor is a disgrace and failure. He has failed to keep order and control in our city. He failed to secure the safety of our citizens against hostile elements. For that, he will resign from office and never take part again in PCA politics.
|
|
|
|
One Army
It's time we incorporate the Las Pegasus National Guard into the PCA militia officially. They need to be on the same page with us in order to help secure and protect the city.
|
|
|
Bring Order
It's time to enact martial law to finally put a stop to the chaos. We will patrol the city day and night, and enforce a curfew to make sure the citizens stay calm. Order will be restored at all costs.
|
|
|
The City is Secure
It's over! Las Pegasus is finally secure. We were able to drive all the communists out for good. With our victory finally assured, we can finally rest our hooves and establish new elections for a new mayor that can bring our city into a brighter future.
|
|
Political Chaos
Thanks to the tireless efforts of the Patriotic Citizen Army, Las Pegasus has been saved from Communism. Despite this, however, the situation is still far from stable, and much work remains to be done.
|
Riots in the Streets
All workers to the fight today! Assemble today to take your freedom, for there may not be a tomorrow if you don't!
|
Shambolic Military
The reactionary elements have been purged from our army, Comrades! Rejoice! However, our CLA is still very new and inexperienced. We will have our work cut out for us if we want to make this into a worthy fighting force.
| |
Rally the Dockworkers
Dockers of Las Pegasus! Your chains are weak, and the revolution burns strong in the hearts of all workers! Rise up and take what is rightfully yours from the hooves of the Reactionaries! |
|
|
Seize the Armories
All ponies shall bring their weapons to the yard to fight against the reactionaries. And then, we shall all march on the armories. They are filled with the tools of oppression. But they are also fit for the revolution.
|
|
|
|
Smash the Monarchists!
We shall march on the monarchist strongholds and make sure that no fifth column activity will remain within the city! No mercy for the traitors of old and the traitors of new!
|
|
|
|
Destroy the PCA!
The PCA sit in their holes, hiding from justice and trying to avoid being spotted, but we see them. We shall take the fight to them, and show them that the Revolution comes for all!
|
|
|
Storm the Mayor's Office
The mayor and his allies are the only ones that remains in the city. We must desail the bastion of capitalism in the city and burn it to the ground! |
|
|
Break the Chains!
Our chains broken, the reactionaries lie battered before us, and the red banner is waving over the city! Now, onwards to building socialism! |
|
Political Chaos
Starry Plough and the forces of the CLA have managed to destroy all of their internal enemies, preventing the Revolution from being smothered in its crib. Still, many do not recognise their authority, and they will need to quickly regularise the situation if they want the fire of Revolution to burn for very long.
|
Bread and Roses
What we need most right now is food. We march on our bellies, and we need more food. We should raid every pantry, find every can in the cupboards, pool every single bushel of food that we can for the revolution. We may even need to plow up the gardens for this one.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
{{{1}}} |
|
Farming Syndicates
Food was once a thing that was imported for heavy cost to the workers from outside the city. But there is land in and around the city that we can put to use, whether the fat cat owners want it or not. What comes first is the bellies of the workers.
|
The following will bypass the focus:

|
Solidarity Food Donations
We are not alone in the world, despite what some might think. Despite our own shortage of food, there may be other places on the continent that has food to spare. Whatever our own pride may say, the traditional spirit of Generosity shall most likely come to our aid in this matter. |
The following will bypass the focus:
{{{1}}} |
|
Implement Rationing
In these times of crisis, there can be no tall poppies, no ponies more well-fed than others. We need to implement controls to make sure that no one hoards more food than is necessary.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
{{{1}}} |
 Fragile Food Supply
Las Pegasus is a large, thriving city - which relied upon imports from the rest of Equestria to ensure it could meet its food requirements. We have substantial stockpiles, but if we don't find some solution within a few moons, famine could be on the horizon...
 Famine
|
Food for All!
Now that the food is flowing again, we can officially declare that any form of famine is over. Ponies can now eat without worrying.
|
|
|
Call a Congress of the Trade Unions
Nothing lasts forever, and war alliances even moreso. But a Congress in the newly rebuilt town hall will surely resolve the disagreements, even if there are a lot of them and they're getting worse. But in the spirit of the revolution, we shall prevail. |
|
|
|
The Military Matter
The Revolution, both at home and abroad was built on popular figures, Starry Plough, Steel Stallion and others. But what should happen to the military after they pass on? Elections or a professional cadre?
|
|
|
The Debate On the Socialist Economy
The economy is one of the topics on debate. The Congress is split between reaching out to the reactionaries, if only to rob them blind, and making our economy autarkic from the rest of the world.
|
|
|
The Diplomatic Question
But one of the most critical questions we must ask is who we should talk to. The reactionaries are lying beyond our borders, but they will make peace someday, and we must decide if we want to talk with them by the pen...or the sword.
|
|
|
The End of the Congress
For better, or for worse, the Congress is over. We can now walk forthrightly into the bright sunshine of revolution!
|
|
 A Red Las Pegasus
After much contentious debate, we have finally thrashed out a coherent form for how our new state should operate. Viva the Proletariat, Viva Las Pegasus!
|
Birth of the Las Pegasus Air Force
This is the modern world. No armed force can never fight without planes to protect them from aerial bombardment. It's time for Las Pegasus Planes to be equipped for action.
|
|
|
Converting the Las Pegasus Shipyard
We don't need ships, we need planes, and as much as possible! Let's scrap these shipyards and convert as much material as possible into working airplane factories that can get this air force running pronto.
|
|
|
Expanding the Las Pegasus Airport
The Las Pegasus Airport needs an upgrade. We definitely can be putting more fighters to bolster our air force. Let's make more runaways so we can fit more planes to fight in the Las Pegasus skies.
|
|
|
A New Doctrine for a New Air Force
A new airforce means a need for new strategies for the air war. We will have all our pilots and air commanders convene to form a new doctrine that defines the actions of our air force.
|
|
|
|
New Fighters On the Strip
Without good fighters, the skies will never remain in our hooves. Let's make sure we have the best fighters we can create to outmatch and drive off the air forces of others.
|
|
|
New Bombers On the Strip
Without good bombers. Our forces will be much weaker against any hostile attacking our ground forces. Let's make sure we have the best bombers to support our ground troops the best they can.
|
|
|
|
More Planes the Better!
We should be able to make our plane production more efficient and cost less with our new streamlined assembly process. We will be able to churn out new planes that can fill up the ranks of our air force faster than ever.
|
|
 Streamlined Air Production
|
Birth of the Las Pegasus Navy
Let's face it. Our new country is dependent on oceanic trade to both survive and prosper. We must strengthen our navy to not only protect our coastlines but to protect our shipping.
|
|
|
Expanding the Las Pegasus Shipyard
Las Pegasus needs a larger fleet in order to accomodate our new status. We should construct additional shipyards to account for the naval growth we are trying to achieve
|
|
|
Enlargening the Las Pegasus Port
With our independence, we cannot rely on inland trade as much anymore. We need to expand the port to accomodate more ships and more convoys for our newly fledgling navy.
|
|
|
A New Doctrine For a New Navy
A new fleet means a need for new strategies for the naval war. We will have all our captains and admirals convene to form a new doctrine that defines the actions of our fleet.
|
|
|
A Modern Flagship
Battleships are not needed anymore. We need to incorporate air to accomodate for our new flagship. The aircraft carrier will lead the way for the Las Pegasus Fleet
|
|
|
A Classic Flagship
The battleship is still an effective flagship to help our fleet survive. It is a symbol of power and will help defend our seas for the Las Pegasus Fleet.
|
|
|
Jewel of Equus
Our navy will be the jewel of the Equestrian seas! Our ship productions might soon be able to rival Skyfalls in enough time as we develop our fledging fleet.
