The Republic of Pony 4 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.971 billion Pony 4ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 57.4%.

The thriving Pony 4ian economy, worth 711 trillion rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 102,129 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Pet owners make sure their dogs wear diapers, cities in Pony 4 declare independence based on interpretation of the historic meaning of cave paintings, the optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", and giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Leader is a silly poophead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pony 4's national animal is the crocodile, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Pony 4 is ranked 251,357^th in the world and 512^th in Sunset Shimmer for Most Secular, with 13.24 Atheism Rate.
