I enjoy creating pony characters off of flags and nations, and on their political, militaristic, and diplomatic power. I made a ranking system based on these powers that works likes this; Great Powers: Alicorn, Middle Powers: Unicorn or Pegasus(Depends on region in the world), and Small Power: Earth Pony. Germany is a Great Power, but some of the current 7 GP can lose their status and revert back to a previous form, and Middle Powers can usurp them. Small Powers are the majority of the world, and it’s difficult for them to rise in rank. I really like political science and explaining how my wierd system works hehehe! If you feel you must add the Alicorn tag to this I won’t be annoyed. If you do like my designs I really appreciate it! :D
 
Also their design becomes more complex as each rank is passed. The more markings they have, the more respected they are!
