Uh… let’s not ship dragons with ponies or other species. I mean, imagine how nasty the hybrids would be if you combine these two, for example.

Yeah, unicorns and dragons are always associated in battling each other. Who would win? Also, unicorns have a stronger associations with human maids, human princesses, elves, fairies, etc.

I wish the world is that ideal. But it’s not.

You can only integrate different cultures so much before you hit incompatibility.
There is a reason why people tend to live with those who share similar cultural values as their own, even in so called multicultural societies.

i disagree a little bit, education does help in order to teach the youth not to repeat the past and prevent bad things from happening BUT i would not like to get rid of dragon culture there needs to be a balance, find the good in the “bad” side of dragon culture and find a good balance between being careing and being strict again the idea of tough love .

yes all creatures can unite under friendship , but is good to keep their culture while embracing others

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
Dream on
Maybe fiction can become reality one day.

Princess Supermare: Good. Dreams save us.

Dreams lift us up and transform us into something better.

And on my soul, I swear that until my dream of a world where dignity, honor, justice, friendship and harmony are the reality we all share, I’ll never stop fighting.

Ever.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
That is quite childishly idealistic way to look at things there. Unfortunately things don’t always play out like on paper and mind.
Education isn’t fool proof.
Tribalism is strong. As long as there is discrepancy, there will be strife.

Sapient nature is truly beautiful ain’t it?

@ЅℰℒᎯℙℋℐℰℒ
That’s what the School of Friendship is for. To push dragon youths to decent fullfilling lives. To encourage the good parts and discourage the bad parts of dragon culture.

No matter what creature whether zebra, pegasus or even breezie, they’ll find a way to unite them under the Way of Friendship and Harmony and show them the light.

Not to be speciest.
But I can totally see Dragons being the type to form gangs. Not saying all, but the way their culture seems to be portrayed in the show… it’s kind of asking for it.

A beautiful utopia of friendship and harmony. It took 9 seasons but they finally united all the creatures together.

This heaven on earth sadly will come to an end though…

Adorable!

At least Ballista looks happy.

You won’t believe what the influx of pilgrims does to the local economy.

Assuming they’re documented citizens.

Now that dragons are citizens of Equestria, does this mean they have to declare their hoards on their income tax? Which should put them into the uppermost tax percentile… quite a lovely windfall for the ponies there!

@Selaphiel  
That makes sense.

@Selaphiel
 
Essentially! Or even just modern micro nations like San Marino or Andorra.

@Cry_Havok  
Vassal states right?

Headcannon time: This is why the Equestrian Royals always kept the title “Princess” to show they have no interest in doing this. Equestria has been ruled by literal goddesses, and is far and away the largest nation state on the continent at least, with a massive population. Equestria could swallow up its neighbors. But it doesn’t want to, it would be a nightmare to administrate, with age old rivalries and cultural differences, and because it’s not worth the blood and treasure to force the issue. So the “Princesses” keep their titles, while the smaller nations are rule by kings and queens. This gives the smaller nations’ leaders a sense of ease, because it lets them command some respect, they may not have the power of the Goddesses, but they have a higher rank, their word, at least in their lands, means more. It lets them deal with Equestria on an artificially equalized level. But the Princesses keep their guards, and their military, in the event the power goes to somecreature’s head and they think they can carve off a chunk of Equestria beyond their ancient borders

@Bexar Bandito  
Don’t worry about it.

@Background Pony Number 17  
And its helping to bringing in SO much tax revenue to pay for the public friendship schools!

… that’s not Autumn Blaze in the slightest. Audible has a bone-colored coat, with orange hair, yellow eyes, and a more drab green to her scales.

@Background Pony Number 17  
I’m pretty sure they live there. Heck, Gallus is Captain of The Guard.
