Granny Smith = Netherlands because Dutch apple pie? :)

@Mildgyth  
To be fair, though, Somalia is really only internationally dangerous to shipping in the Gulf of Aden and western Indian Ocean, and to the central arguments of anti-government objectivists and anarchists.

@NudeNess
 
Of course, this is because of the civil war. that’s how it can compete with Somalia, Nigeria, Zaire and South Sudan just fine.

@Titanium Dragon  
Libya is one of the most dangerous countries in Africa.

@Titanium Dragon  
Discord should be Somalia.

Syria wasn’t Discord?
 
Shame on you.

Segun this map, I’ve been to Applejack, Big Mac, Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Vinyl, Daring Do, Iron Will, Rarity, Celestia, Photo Finish, Granny Smith, Nurse Redheart, and Braeburn.
 
I made a quick stop in Mr. Cake, but it was just a rest stop for our tour bus.
 
I’d like to visit Apple Fritter, Lotus, Prince Blueblood, Pinkie and/or Soarin sometime.

Party Favor = Cuba.
 
Someone please draw Party Favor smoking a cigar. Now.
 
Or just eating sugarcane for a kid-friendly version.

@Vaidelot  
Yup!

@NudeNess  
Isn’t it supposed to be a part of image for Russia?

also can anyone explain the Kaliningrad Oblast?

Ah, ok Denmark is a Danish territory

I wonder if Blueblood is Spain due to the fact that the term “blue blood” actually comes from the Spanish phrase “sangre azul”?

@NudeNess  
Yeah, of course Greenland is physiographically a part of the continent of North America, and has been politically and culturally associated with Europe (specifically Norway and Denmark, the colonial powers, as well as the nearby island of Iceland) for more than a millennium.

I lived in Mayor Mare for a while. I moved to Applejack.

@Spritejunkee  
THIS WORK FOR ME COMRADE

>known for being “communist” when they clearly are not.
 
That requires too much thinking for the person looking at the map, just make her North Korea because she’s a cult leader.

@Background Pony #D53F  
a closer fit for China  
Makes sense to me, since both are largely known for being “communist” when they clearly are not.

@Background Pony #904B  
Starlight Glimmer for Russia? I find that a little offensive. However, it is a closer fit for China - far from perfect, but much closer.
