Yup.  Unstable, but it would be hard for them to oppress... Or perhaps defend against invasion.  I'll admit I'm a wacko, but I'm a wacko who sticks to my principles!

and it would take forever to fix anything :\  Although now that I think about it, Celestia takes a long time to do most things...

You see, it works!  Instead of being able to blame people individually, and cast aspersions on their character, we can instead blame the system!  It's brilliant!... if I do say so myself.

exactly my countries logic in their revolution.
"We can't get any money , and that defiantly not because half of us skipped school ((True)) Its definatly because the president stole it from us."
Flawless logic.

basing a nation's rule on an individual's personality... sounds like a very bad idea.  oh wait, that's what we're doing in the USA...

I would love to bash this statement, but we can't argue politics on here. :(

But no, I wouldn't pick Luna strictly for personality, I also stated that I believe she'd have a better grip on things. A lot of problems occur all the time in Equestria. Celestia is slacking.

So who exactly has been running the country for a thousand years, and keeping the peace pretty well, all things considered?

Right.

I blame it on the Six, ever since they came around there's been no end to troubles!  Oh we've got trouble, trouble with a capital T which rhymes with Sea which starts with S which stands for Six!

We've not gotten a thousand years of history from the show though, so...?

The Wandering Magus

it was the Sisters who banished Discord, yet Nightmare Moon was imprisoned in the Moon for a thousand years, and Equestria was ruled by the Sisters since the Three Tribes...

Whilst that's an accurate statement, that still does not tell anyone the history of a thousand years. I am talking about all of the events that happened between Nightmare Moon's banishment and present day. With all of the constant problems in Equestria, I can safely assume that there are far more problems that have occurred over those past 1000 years. Now, this might not be Celestia's fault, but I still stand by my guns in believing that Luna would do a better job as the ruler of Equestria.

Of course, everything could have been extremely peaceful for the most part during all of that time, and recent events could be linked to the return of the Elements of Harmony (wild guess, but giving a look from the other side). If that's the case, then Celestia's doing alright. I still like Luna more in the end though.

there's a reason Luna got banished to the moon, you know... do you really think it would be wise to have a ruler with a history of trying to commit genocide on a global basis?

Trying to commit genocide? She wanted it to be permanently night. She was also corrupted. I'm willing to bet there's more behind the story than just simple jealousy, but I doubt the show will ever go there, so we'll never know.

How was it Genocide?

The Wandering Magus

according to Lauren Faust, who wrote the episode and backstory for Luna, the reason she was banished the first time was literally because ponies were starving and suffering.  you can't plant anything and have it grow without sunlight, and the sun is what warms the entire planet.  imagine if day never came.  vegetables, grass, trees, animals, everything would die a slow death, and then the world would freeze over.
