Who will rule Equestria? The Elements of Harmony are the ones who have been called to govern in the Sisters' stead.

As the investigation continues, they discover that ruling is dirty and that hard choices need to be made.

A political analysis of Equestria.

This is my first fanfiction, and so I beg your apologies for it. I welcome any and all comments and help. If anyone volunteers to be an editor, I would be more than glad for some help.

Likewise, I wish to extend my apologies, if it is a little dry. I am not used to writing prose and if I get too technical, please stop me. I am used to writing essays and as a result, I'm not very good at writing extended lines of description. So my chapters might be a bit short. Sorry.

No apologies about the British spelling of the characters - my computer does a funny term if I do it Yankee style.

Likewise, I wish to extend my gratitude to Likonan on Deviant Art for the kind use of his drawing as the cover image.
