What happens when the very government of Equestria is challenged? Aside from the odd incident here and there, Equestria was a peaceful place. But it seems that there are dark things hiding in Equestria. Dark things that have been responsible for many a chaotic occurrence. Behold the power of The State.

And then Twilight had to go and get involved.
