Equestrian Invasion of Earth (animated map)

This is a gif of my dream alternate universe where ponies invade Earth x3 Each frame represents one week of the war.

The basic idea is as follows:

Princess Twilight has develops a spell that allows travel to other worlds. She is eager to try it out herself, but her guards insist it is too dangerous, and convince her to let them travel as scouts instead. What they find is Earth, a planet of shocking violence, cruelty and misery, imposed by a cruel ruling species - humans.

When the scouts return home, the public are outraged by the news. The usually peaceful nation of Equestria erupts into demonstrations calling for war. After months of ponies, led by Secret Agent Bon-Bon, scouting the planet in secret, with the use of invisibility spells and communication with local animals, the ponies uncover the locations of all Earth's major military basis, and all of humanity's major weaknesses - the biggest ones being their division into smaller nations and over-reliance on electricity.

The princesses of Equestria then reveal themselves, causing a massive magical firestorm covering the entire surface of the moon to demonstrate their power, before issuing an ultimatum to all governments on Earth, which they are given 14 days to agree to. The conditions are as follows:    > All wars are to be stopped within 12 months    > The punishments for animal abuse are to be increased to equal those for human abuse within 12 months    > Sport hunting, commercial animal testing and factory farming are to be banned within 12 months    > The use of fossil fuels is to be completely phased out within 5 years    > Adequate food, clean water and medical assitance are to be provided to all humans and domesticated animals within 5 years

The ponies give assurance that they will assist in any way necessary to achieve the goals of the ultimatum, however only Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Denmark, Switzerland and Bhutan agree to the conditions. With no other options, the princesses officially declare war on the remainder of humanity.

Within the first 2 hours of the war, all major military bases and power stations are hit by extreme weather events. Access to nuclear weapons is cut off by floodwater, military buildings are flattened by tornadoes and the world's electricity grid is shut down. Communication cables in the ocean are torn apart and massive maelstroms and hurricanes prevent boats or planes from leaving ports. The ponies take care to minimise the damage to civilian areas, and areas with high populations of wild animals.

With human governments in complete disarray, the ponies quickly storm major coastal cities and centres of power, capturing Beijing, Shanghai, New York, Washington DC, London, Paris, Berlin and Rio De Janeiro in a week, before the military can respond.

The ponies then sweep into sparsely populated inland areas such as the Amazon rainforest, where animals vastly outnumber humans. Animal communicators like Fluttershy are used to convince the animals to join the pony forces and sweep across continents, cutting off road and rail networks across North America, Central Asia and South America over the next 2 weeks. During this time, the ponies also take control of eastern India and more of continental Europe, before their armies can regroup.

By the 4th week of the war, the humans have finally begun to gather some form of organised resistance, however without international communications, the resistance is uncoordinated and exists only in isolated pockets. Resistance in Europe is crushed, opening the Middle East for attack. Too caught up in internal conflicts to fight against the ponies, the Middle East falls rapidly. North Korea's large but primitive army is also easily overcome by pony forces. The significantly stronger US resistance is also pushed back into the Northwest, Canada and Alaska.

By week 6, pony forces in Asia and Europe have united, and Equestrian forces in North and South America have also reached each other. Southeast Asia, Europe and the Americas are completely pony-controlled by this point. The ponies consolidate their rule across their territories and bring in new supplies, while beginning invasions of North Africa and Japan.

By week 8, only small pockets of human resistance remain in western Russia, Australia and New Zealand, areas the ponies previously avoided due to geographical difficulty (in Russia's case) and lack of strategic significance (in the case of the later two). Russia's army has begun rebuilding its military bases by this point and is putting up fierce resistance, but it is simply no match for magic and the sheer numbers of animals the ponies have recruited.

In the 10th week of the war, in the Battle of Moscow, the last human resitance surrenders. The ponies assume control of the Earth and declare their captured territories "The Equestrian Planetary Kingdom of Earth" or "EPK". Most of the ponies return home, with magic-infused animals and a few pony guards left to keep the peace. All human weapons are destroyed, power is restored, and human media networks, businesses and governments are taken over by ponies.

Countries that agreed to the ultimatum are allowed to keep their independence and are not invaded by the ponies, however their borders are heavily guarded and they are required to demilitarise.

Lyra Heartstrings is declared 'Princess of Earth' and, along with her companion Bon-Bon (who led the scouting teams before the war), she goes about mending relations between ponies and humans, mainly through the use of free food handouts and internet access, and begins working on enacting the conditions opposed by the ultimatum.

The conditions are met on time, largely through the use of magic and sheer force, and although initially hostile, the human population gradually calms down, though obesity has become even more of an issue due to all the chocolate handouts.

Eventually, after 10 years, Lyra's approval rating surpasses 50% among humans, and 90% among intelligent animals. Periodic uprisings still take place in the Middle East, Russia and the southern United States, due to social conservatism and devotion to religions which state animals are inferior, but due to the human lack of weapons they are quickly and fairly peacefully silenced. Across the world, living standards, happiness levels and literacy rates reach an all time high.

Many of the pony guards that remained on Earth have had children, and a significant pony population exists on Earth, largely concentrated in major cities such as New York, Berlin, Beijing and Tokyo.

With her new-found public support, Lyra begins to enact more reforms - she outlaws discrimination based on race, gender and sexuality; she ends the meat industry entirely and develops lab-grown meat; and she builds shielding to protect the Earth from potential meteorite impacts, gamma ray bursts and solar storms. Earth under the EPK's rule becomes a thriving community of humans, ponies and animals.

Encouraged by the success of the Earth campaign, the princesses of Equestria decide to gradually explore the multiverse further (using Earth as a base of operations to prevent hostile aliens entering Equestria). They find many more planets like Earth and reform them, building an eternal, multiversal pony empire, devoted to maintaining peace, fairness, and friendship across all the known universes.

That’s...a lot to take in. What I’m wondering is how the more rapey of the brony population would be handled. You know the one’s I’m talking about.
