An earth pony was tired of seeing that good stuff was always reserved for unicorns and pegasi (flying and magic), so he used his brains to make sometime for himself. After that, he realized that a normal pony could do more than a pegasus or an unicorn by using his brains
The nature changed from scenery to resource, the life of a pony to a capable number, and enjoyments of life were turned down as mere distractions
This new way of life started to damage the psychosis of some ponies, so this one pony (we'll call him Boss) decided, quite angry, to give them entertainment
This is when Boss discovered a new barrier of social reachment: entertaintment
He discovered that as long as the working class was kept entertained and happy, they wouldn't fight, so he started to brainwash other ponies through it
After a while, Boss noticed that the working class started to complain about their achivements: some ponies were better in other aspects that others
He saw the abilities of these ponies, so he started to organize them in social ladders
When he was done, he discovered his second victory: ego
He saw how the highers ladders were happy to be on the top, so they just did anything that boss said without questioning. and he saw the lower ladders didn't care about complaining because they were entertained and happy
He pulled the strings correctly, and knew his fate very well: the ponies were his puppets, and he the puppeter
The small country called Industria started to grow and expand. Unicorns and pegasi were bullied and looked down, being called freaks, and due to their extra limbs, monsters
For their need of acknowlegde, Boss told them that if they gave up their magic and flying skills, they would earn the respect that any "normal pony" had
They accepted, making the country bigger
After that, magic was forbidden, flying was an act of indescency, and alicorns were targeted as worldwide threats

As these words were said, the higher ponies feared of losing their status, so they started to pass the fear to the lower social classes
Boss saw how this false sense of danger started to attract more ponies, so he started to control the media to bring fear, and say that Industria was the only safe place
The country grew more, as the power of Boss
He saw how everything was useful to obtain more power that even an alicorn can't imagine, but he saw how time took a toll on his life
His legacy was too big to be forgotten, so he chose a succesor. But no anyone; an specific pony, raised to be the heir of his twisted desire of power
The first Boss passed away, and the second one took his place
With the knowledge of the first Boss, the second one started to investigate how to extend not only his power, but his life as well
Boss through Boss, they were falling, outliving the old succesors in each dinasty
The country grew big and healthier, the walls and weaponry that protects the city is evidence of their fear and lust of power. the control of life was passed to only one pony, for the small comfort of safety
Now, the new Boss is Lorelei Kernav. a mare with a dream more bigger than the original Boss: not control Equestria, but the entire world under her hoof
