Equestria has entered the Industrial Age, throughout the world new inventions are popping up everywhere and the assembly line is the new standard for the manufacturing of products. The automobile is revolutionizing the way ponies travel and the Bessemer Process has made steel production climb to an all time high. New buildings called skyscrapers are being built in Manehatten and the first transcontinental railroad is being built to unite Equestria from coast to coast. These changes come with many sacrifices though, millions of ponies are working long, underpaid hours to produce products and build railroads. The wealth gap between the rich and the poor is higher than ever and it seems to be getting bigger everyday. Equestria is in peril, will ponies overcome these new problems or fall to ruin with greed and corruption.
