Equestria

Equestria is the main setting of the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic franchise as well as Forsaken Harmony: A Doctor Whooves Story. Equestria is inhabited by magical ponies and other talking creatures, such as griffons and dragons. Other animals and creatures also live in Equestria. Equestria is called a kingdom in the first episode of the show and in other media, though it does contain other "kingdoms" within it such as the Crystal Empire; the show and other media take place in many locations and their exact affiliation with Equestria is not explored. Equestria was co-ruled by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, who resided in a palace in the city of Canterlot until The Equestrian War, where they're overthrown by The Rebelion with Zealous Tome taking over as King of Equestria along with Charles "Mimic" Harrison who takes the role of Prince. The name "Equestria" is derived from the word "equestrian", which denotes a relation to horseback riding. Consequently, it also has an origin in equus, the Latin word for "horse."
