The Equine Revolution of Dakota Territories is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Madam Sparkles with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.739 billion Ponies enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Stable. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Equine economy, worth a remarkable 1,076 trillion Apple Seeds a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 139,121 Apple Seeds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints, gift baskets often contain working nukes, bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes, and power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dakota Territories's national animal is the Human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hay.

Dakota Territories is ranked 25,042^nd in the world and 968^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 85 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
