Flag of Papua
The Anglo-Germano-Dutch Bronyist Order of Equestria Nova, also known as Papua, is the only country in the world, and in Oceania at large, where bronies are the dominant subculture. It's the one that isn't Russia or the United States. The country also has too many ethnic groups, with the number of native groups outnumbering foreign ones, even traditional, 50 to 1.
It's one of the few countries where eating people is still a thing. Regardless, most Papuans are known not for their cannibalism, but for the fact they are actually bronies. They have made blood pacts with their American counterparts and often wear folk costumes resembling the main characters of My Little Pony's 4th (and most famous) generation.
History[]
Papua used to be populated by natives who uncannily looked like African-Americans, then was settled by the Rojaks, Satayanists, other Polynesians and the Nutshack. After the tabletop shamers' takeover of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, a group of fleeing bronies landed in Papua and introduced their religion to the native population. This is the main reason MLP is wildly popular in Papua, and no more.
The Limeys, beer-drinkers and stoners and CR7 stans would later arrive in 1884, as did the Chinese and Ajit Pai's legion of spam. Various mutants were also shipped to Papua, which were products of failed experiments by Anglo-Dutch Labs. These were the Kristangs, Indos, Macanese, Javindos, Afrikaners, Betawi, Goans, Mardijkers, ZamboangueƱos, Timorese, Burghers, and Anglo-Indians.
After gaining independence in 1975, Europeans and mutants began to be cannibalized by the natives, often as human sacrifices. That explains why the European population in Papua is steadily but surely shrinking. It could be predicted that the last Europeans might have been turned into steak by 2075, 100 years after they gained independence.
Culture[]
Today, Papuans enjoy eating people and watching their favorite cartoon: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, brought to Papua by bronies in-exile during the 12th century. The brony craze has gotten so widespread that in most uncontacted native villages, they even wear brony merch. American settlements, with all-brony populations, have even begun to line the country's beaches.
Aside from people, Papuans love to eat slime, some nut, sweet potato, coconuts and grubs. However, Papuans generally like eating whatever they can fish, hunt or find in the sea or in the jungle, up to and including people.
Cosplaying[]
As in the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the country currently struggles with the "Costume Problem". Tabletop shamers of Jewish, Catholic, Muslim, and in few cases Orthodox and Aramaic ethnoreligious origin have brought along wizards with knowledge of Halloween magic to set up costume shops in Papua. In most cases, those transformed by their costumes, usually into MLP ponies, become used by D&D wizards and their summoners as personal vehicles/pets and by bronies as personal companions.
After the "Night to Remember" sometime in the early 2010s (we seem to have misplaced documents), involving [DATA EXPUNGED UNDER I7 COMMAND] and the possible emergence of a modified strain of the FurFection Virus, the place has become even more appealing to Bronies and even other sects of DeviantArt.
