maybe it's an empire, except with two princesses?  like Rome.  Royal Guards everywhere to keep the peace, "Shire-riffs" at the borderlands, a great city on a mountain from which to rule it all, fear of "barbarian" races from outside coming in.

In Old English times, an administrative district, consisting of a number of smaller districts ('hundreds' or 'wapentakes'), united for purposes of local government, and ruled jointly by an ealdorman and a sheriff, who presided in the shire-moot (shire court). Under Norman rule, the division of England into shires was continued, the AF. counté, Anglo-Latin comitatus, being adopted as the equivalent of the English term. At the present day shire is rare in official use, but is current as a literary synonym for county (chiefly restricted to those counties that have names ending in -shire). The counties of Wales, and most of those of Scotland, have -shire as the ending of their name, but the word is now rarely employed in speaking of them. The counties of Ireland were often called shires in the 16-17th c., but the use is now obsolete.

Like Yorkshire? That's the only one I know of.

..., socialist services, ...?

We haven't seen any money transfers for that, but they could have happened.
So if they are really that socialist is unknown.

Man, this thread reminds me why politics is so interesting to me. The various forms of government that our society created is amazing.

On topic: I say it's a Diarchy with Theocracy thrown in there. If I remember right, the Roman Republic, before Rome was an empire, was sort of presidential Diarchy, two elected heads of state. But Luna and Celestia were certainly not elected. They're tyrants, really. They took the throne through force

Julius Ceasar was certainly not benevolent, but he was probably the best tyrant in history.

Spoiler: And an honest one • show
[quote=Julius Caesar]All of Gaul is divided into three parts, one of which is inhabited by the Belgae, another by the Aquitani, the third by those who in their own language are called Celts, but in ours are called Gauls. Among all of these languages, institutions and laws are different. The Gauls are separated from the Aquitani by the river Garonne and from the Belgae by the rivers Marne and Seine. Of all of these, the bravest are the Belgae, because they are far away from the culture of our province, because few merchants visit them and bring to them those things which tend to effeminate men's minds, and because they are nearest to the Germans, who live across the Rhine and with whom they are continually waging war.[/quote]


One of the proudest moments in Belgian history.

What if it's a society based on strength and since Celestia and Luna are the most powerful ponies of the land, they rule Equestria together  :I
