It was created and ruled by the two Overlords, Faust and Hasbro, as the main setting of Hasbro's show before Overlord Faust left and Hasbro tried and failed to dominate Equestria. As a result of Overlord Hasbro's powers, the ponies that live there were turned into humans, although they seem to have adjusted well to their new lives.
Bitter from her defeat, Queen Chrysalis (who fought with the defeated resistance) formed the Solar Empire to govern Equestria, so she can gather Overlord Hasbro's plans and defeat him once and for all. Nonetheless, her plan failed, as Hasbro had already destroyed Equestria after his release, although one of a trio of Fluttershys used her powers to revive its inhabitants in a standoff against Hasbro.
Equestria was restored afterwards, but within two computers, as Hasbro and the three Fluttershys battle each other's side for control of the realm.
Before its destruction by Hasbro and after its restoration, Equestria endured repeated invasions by a colorful rogue's gallery of antagonists, ranging from the fearsome Reapers, to the quirky Appuls, Sid Megabus, and Chester the Cheetah. Many of them were sent from Hasbro to disrupt and eliminate the Mane Six, so Hasbro may directly take over Equestria and impose his reign once more.
Characteristics[]
Overview[]
This version of Equestria has its ponies being turned into humans, yet elements from Equestria Girls seem to coexist within the original setting, resulting in what appears to be some kind of modern society with anachronistic elements.
For example, in the Equestria of the Parody Series, Twilight Sparkle goes to Canterlot High to study and socialize with her friends, but goes home and resides with Spike in the Golden Oaks Library (instead of sleeping in Canterlot High's library and requiring a portal to return home, as in the movies). Also, even though many of the inhabitants of Ponyville live in medieval thatch-roof houses, they also utilize modern and futuristic technology, such as electricity, automobiles, television and video-games, and smartphones.
The restored Equestria is quite similar to the one that Hasbro destroyed after his release, just before its destruction.
Equestria is a monarchy, led by Queen Chrysalis in the guise of Principal Celestia as the ruler of the tyrannical Solar Empire. She continues to rule the Solar Empire in the new Equestria as well, though more discreetly to avoid Hasbro detecting her plans.
Among the ranks of the Solar Empire's eccentric military forces include armies of Appuls, large mechanical suits, and SPORK-COM (the latter of which was presumably established temporarily to defend Equestria from extra-terrestrials, such as Black Appul and his faction of Appuls).

Trivia[]
In the original show, Equestria is a magical realm inhabited by ponies, zebras, buffalo, donkeys, dragons, griffons, yaks, sirens, and other species. In the Equestria Girls movies, its alternate counterpart is more modernized, and is inhabited by humans.

Even though Equestria's world or planet does not have an official name, it is usually named as "Equestria" in fanon, after the country/continent that is the main setting of the original show, and possibly its unnamed alternate counterpart inhabited by humans.
For the city which functioned as the setting of the Equestria Girls movies, however, its name was given as "Canterlot"
In Rainbow Rocks, the antagonists suggest that Vinyl Scratch was on holiday in the Alps, even though they and the protagonists were from Equestria. Whether this suggests that this version of Equestria has Earth locations, or she managed to get into the real world, is uncertain.
However, places such as Holland (the Netherlands, where Michael Rosen went on a holiday) and Mount Bradmore (based on Mount Rushmore) suggest the former.
