Or it could just be a silly gag and we shouldn’t overthink it. ^^

@Masem  
Oh come on, we’re not that superstitious!
 
I mean sure, we tend to knock on wood and we get exceedingly optimistic when we pass a chimney sweep in the street, but that’s about it.

@Background Pony #50D7  
Maretime Bay = England  
Zephyr Heights = US (hi-tech, fascination with social media)  
Bridlewood = Mainland Europe (rooted in tradition)

SPURT FOREVER

Quick, leave from it!

Mother. Of. Celestia.
 
It all makes sense.

@woodlandpornalt  
Indeed. Freedom means sacrificing stuff.

I never realised brexit meant loosing my magical powers :’(

Twelve stars - on the EU flag this was never explained, as there were either fewer or more member states, it is supposed to be inspired by the Mary symbol where the Virgin Mary is depicted with a wreath of twelve stars. But in Equus it is observed that religion is quite sparsely distributed (magic makes faith superficial, and in the movie we saw how absence leads to strong superstition) in comparison to our own world.
 
Then it means that PN meant “Pony Nation”, the word “nation” only suggests an apolitical concept of a cultural or identity-based community even if segregation prevails. The word Equestria means “the land inhabited by the ponies” without being united. In Scandinavia we have the word “rike” for such a construction, which is difficult to translate into English, which may have apolitical and political content, which may be used on Equestria. Denmark means flat land populated by the Danes.
 
The twelve stars must then mean twelve states in Equestria. We only saw snippets of three states in the movie, Maretime Bay obviously being part of a larger state where Phyllis may have had a strong political influence that her son took advantage of, while Briddlewood had Alphabittle as the undeclared leader as a community, while Zephyr Heights is definitely the empire of Equestria. Crystal Empire may be one of these states.

The animators are Oirish, so it makes sense that they’d use this instead of a US-style plate for the gag.

Who needs the UK if you can have the MLP in your union?

PN is reserved for Pitcairn.  
So it might have been in the EU but dropped out with the Brexit.

nice detail.

“The MLP movie is a thinly-veiled political piece about Brexit!!!!1!1!1”
