Our Town



Our Town is a landlocked city-state localized in Northern Equus, bordering the Crystal Empire to the west,  Stalliongrad to the south and  Nova Griffonia to the east.

It once used to be part of Equestria, together with  Stalliongrad. But with the revolution in Severyana, and the subsequent creation of Stalliongrad, the province where the city was founded was given to Starlight Glimmer and her followers, who then founded Our Town.

Lore
In Our Town, Starlight Glimmer brought everyone together in a true equal, cutie mark-less society; at least, that's how it seemed. In 1004 Twilight Sparkle and the Elements of Harmony came to Our Town and outed Starlight Glimmer as a fraud. While she preached true equality, she refused to embrace it herself and remove her own cutie mark.

Since then, Our Town has recovered and even flourished. But trapped between Stalliongrad and Nova Griffonia, Our Town finds itself cut off from the world. Under pressure from Stalliongrad, Our Town formulized a communist-leaning government in an attempt to appease their southern neighbor. Led by Double Diamond, Starlight Glimmer's former second-in-command, the commune continues to strive for an equal and harmonious life.

Our Town, disconnected from the rest of the world, must rely on Stalliongrad for help and support. But that may soon change, as Stalliongrad may seek to re-integrate the province that was formerly theirs...

Threats and Opportunities
Our Town is a masochist with a lot of time's dream. You start with 1 division of Town Militia, which is 4 infantry. Around you are the Crystal Empire, Nova Griffonia, and Stalliongrad. Stalliongrad gets a focus to annex you so stopping that should be your priority. To do this you need to decline Stalliongrad's invitation when it comes.

National Focus
You should start doing "Our First Factory" and "Our Second Factory" to give you a headstart on building things faster. After that do the two focuses leading up to "Our Election". During "Our Election", you pick between Double Diamond (Communist) or Feather Bangs (Harmony). Feather Bangs is currently unfinished so picking Double Diamond is your best bet.
