On the back of the pamphlet: "Greetings and welcome to your new life in Equestria! As a previous member of the Third World you may find yourself rather confused by a number of topics discussed by our citizens and these short books are to educate you in some of the more basic topics. This section, history, will inform you of the basics behind our industry, rivals and the conflicts. While you might find the contents intimidating, please understand that this simply informs about our past, and today Equestria is a gleaming nation of opportunity and scientific advancement."

This fic is based on the Steamquestria Tumblr, this fic is but a fan interpretation of potential backstory and is not to be taken as in canon to the Tumblr's lore.
