The Flag
Originally conceived in the form of a Minecraft banner, the Flag of Equestria is inspired in part by the French Tricolour. It is the same in peacetime and wartime and is flown both on land and at sea. It is not just a mess of colours, it is symbolic as well as aesthetically pleasing.
-
Red, blue, and white are the colours of a republic
-
The white band in the center represents the unifying power of the National Government
-
The red and blue represent the overall diversity of the nation
​
The Coat of Arms
Coats of Arms date back to the middle ages. They represented families, businesses, armies, and more. Equestria's coat of arms symbolizes the country as a whole but is also very detailed. Each part of the Arms symbolizes something.
-
The Sword represents military might
-
The Hands represent the nation's accepting virtues
-
The Horse represents the union of man and horse
-
The scroll and spear represent law and order respectively
-
Red, blue, and white are the colours of a republic
The National Anthem
The national search for a dedicated anthem that is composed domestically continues. In the meantime, "Rule Equestria" (generously recorded by the British Army Royal Corps of Engineers) is the official anthem for use in public ceremonies.
Lyrics
When our land fi-i-irst at hea'ens command,
Aro-o-ose from out the a-azure main,
Arose, arose, aro-o-ose from the azure main,
This was the charter, the charter of the land,
And guardian a-angels sang the strain:
​
Rule Equestria!
Equestria rule the waves!
Man nor horse ever ever ever shall be slave!
​
(Repeat chorus x2)
