Occupied Equestria is an RP campaign set in a post-Equestria Equestria, where the princesses are gone, as are the Elements of Harmony. Gone, temporarily at least, but not by any means forgotten.

New players are welcome.

Fantasy Play has a few "kitties" to cuddle with
Brie has a Changeling Queen to negotiate with
Iron has some gangsters to beat
Silver has some follow up to do
Amber is exploring her new home
Spark is either looking for forest demons, or negotiating the fate of a tribe of Wolves
Midnight has more cultists to kill
Onyx has a colt to look after
Dark Star has some communists to kill

"They should be, and perhaps they will be, but for now they are useful to me." Brie smiles and glancing sidelong gives Lavren a one-eyed smile.

When you use that method of calculation it looks like Equestria really is bigger than North America. As I said before, the Naval map has the seas around Equestria as much smaller than that, and I am less sure but I think the air map does too. That does not mean the maps are consistent with each other.

I'm still going for a portrayal of Equestria as steadily centralizing its power as time progresses. If you look to the river coalition, the various nations there remained completely separated, and only recently formed a decent coalition. In the griffin lands, there was an attempt to unify all of griffindom, but it fell apart after ~250 years. According to leaks, Saddle Arabia will have a similar story of trying to reclaim a lost empire. So I am going with Equestria having a similar attempt, but actually succeeding (except for Severyana and a few other places) because of Alicorn immortality/longevity. Of course by the time of the setting of the campaign, East Equestria has been completely divided into separate autonomies or even separate protectorate countries.

"Don't worry, Im sure we'll have time to exponentiate as we travel." He winks finally to Lavren.
"It is good that her majesty is pleased then." Brie says formally. "Any last favors or objectives I should be aware of?" He says slyly, his eyes almost squinting, a shit-eating grin on his face, one fang peeking out.

She answers:
"The objective is to ensure Changelingia is safe from ponies who would raid our lands and capture our nymphs. Any expansion to that objective will occur after the situation on the ground in Baltimare has been assessed and reevaluated. Good luck. You'll have more time to talk on the planes."

Lavren stares at Brie, saying nothing. The whole set of changelings is packed into a pair of small monoplanes - Lavren, Seb, Fun, Wesley, Kerr, the Queen, and the very sharply dressed military officer drone who accompanied her here. Brie may speak to to the above while in the planes, prior to boarding, or in the Tarmac at Whinnysota. It's a long ride to Baltimare.

Amber drinks in her surroundings. "It's like a rainbow in its own way," she murmurs. "Quite a few generations of the same family have read together in this room, I reckon…"
Amber carefully walks on the carpet, as if afraid to break anything, and takes a look over the different titles on the shelves.

The StuG III is the most underrated German AFV. This is coming out of left-field, but that was my thinking when I was mass-producing medium tank destroyers, and it worked.

"I do not know," Mala looks away, and out the window

"Oh yes. Several owners here have collected books over the years. Some are rare, first editions, And some were read to there foals at night."

Silver nods to Mala.

"Indeed, it is moral conundrum. Perhaps there was no 'good and evil' to choose between, but rather between compassion and ruthlessness."

He pats Mala on top of his head.

"Between those two, I would rather be compassionate."

"Maybe..." Mala has an uncertain and unsatisfied expression. He closes his eyes and smiles, however, when silver pats him. His diamond ears part over to the side, making room for the hoof.

The taxi arrives at a tan colored building with narrow windows perhaps five or so stories tall near the center of the city.

The building isn't the tallest in the area, but it's much larger than most of the buildings in Baltimare. Going inside through the front door, there is an off-white colored mare waiting at the reception desk. Mala seems unsure as to whether he should or should not enter.

He heads for the elevator, but not immediately getting inside. Instead Silver stands in front of it looking unsure and excited at the same time.

Silver walks down the hall to find a more open area with marble floors, a pinkish colored wall, and a metal door just a little too dull in color to be stainless steel. This must be the fabled elevator, with a black button to the right of the metal door frame. Mala follows, and says nothing, looking curiously at the metal door.

"Oh, some of these are likely as old as Equestria, and many are over five hundred years. But those are on the higher shelves, out of the way. The lower levels have books stocked here from the beginning of the ninth century by Frequent Wind."

Wait. No. Recalculating.

At the end of the open area is an open door with a brass door frame over head. Looking inside is a carpet floor, hardwood walls, but most importantly a brown colt sitting next to a lever, looking over at the two creatures.

Silver steps in, and Mala joins cautiously afterwards
"Sure can" the colt answers

Entering the small room, he presses a button that closes first the brass door on the first floor, and then a folding grille metal sliding door closes from the inside, securing the car but making it possible to see out of the car at the door. With his hoof, the pegasus colt presses the lever forward, and the elevator moves upward with the sound of an electric traction motor. Mala is startled by the movement, and moves his legs out wider to remain stable. The elevator moves up and lets the creatures see the door pass below them, then the wall between floors, then the door of the second floor, and finally to the door on the third floor, which opens to the left, and is followed by the metal grille door opening.
"Third floor"

He walks down a white hallway, and then opens an unremarkable wooden door. This leads into a small halllway that splits off to the left, and goes past a door and a few interior windows on what seem to be offices or conference rooms, and then enters into a larger area with a few cubicles, a couple of which have ponies in them at typewriters. At least one of the ponies is missing a leg. He keeps his pace before reaching a wall lined with offices. He finds one that he opens the door on

"Aight, you can come on in"
He opens the narrow door into the office. On top of one shelf is a single framed picture of what looks to be Parade Pass and a mare in a dress. This is the lone element of personalization in an office that has no creature comforts or other efforts at personalization. Indeed, with cardboard boxes on the ground and papers haphazardly strewn across the desk, it looks more like a storage room than an office worker's office

Parade Pass sits down at the desk and starts flipping threw pages
"Let me just... There was an official tally here somewhere. I think it was 30 captured non-citizens? Let me.."
He looks through the papers. There is one chair before the desk
