Chippin’ In
For some time, I’ve been writing a story (set in the Equestria Girls world) where the Mane cast travels across Equestria, and in certain places, go outside of its borders.
Now, we haven’t seen very much of a Equestria Girls’ Equestria, but assuming that it’s at least similar in both size and geography to the normal Equestria, and based on what we’ve seen in the show, I have to conclude that the geographic area Equestria occupies is actually fairly small. For example, Spike is able to travel from Ponyville to the Crystal Empire and back in less than a day by train. We don’t know how long it takes for the cast to reach any other location by train, but there’s nothing to indicate it takes a very long time.
Granted, magic does play a fairly sizable role in transportation for the normal Equestria, and we know next to nothing about how far away locations are relative to one another. The official map of Equestria is evocative of a map of the US, but they so what we see in the show, it clearly can’t be the same size.
This isn’t a very critical issue, but it is something I’ve started to put a lot of thought into, so I was curious about what other people thought of it.
