That makes sense. Where I come from, there aren't meant to be two queens or two kings of one realm, either. But how will they decide on heirs? Assuming both of them are going to have children, that is.
Actually, that many people on their own don't cover that much space. If the entire human population stood shoulder to shoulder, they would be able to fit within Los Angeles. Los Angeles is a city of five hundred square miles. The trouble starts when one accounts for the amount of resources a single human needs to maintain a certain quality of life and then multiplies that by seven billion.
How troublesome are your diseases? Humans have relatively recently started developing effective ways to combat the worst of the diseases we've faced, but historically, disease or primitive medical attention have been the leading cause of death. That's averaged, of course, since there have been eras when violence and war have caused more death.
So you don't have a problem with corruption and crime? [Coming from a member of the BAU: where is this magical place and when can he go there?] That... well, from the point of view from my world, that sounds like a fairy tale. The area where I currently live in, Washington DC--which is technically not a state, but is often treated like one in unofficial matters--has roughly 145.2 intentional, proven homicides per year, and that's only counting cases where a body has been found. A sizable percentage of those murders go unsolved, and if one lists countries by homicide rates from greatest to least, there are eighty-five countries above the United States. Again, that is only counting proven homicides, and in some countries, police turn blind eyes to murder or many homicides go unrecorded because of rampant violence and people not taking the time to record every death. [No, it does not occur to him that this may be upsetting to hear. He's Reid. He doesn't always know when he should just shut up.] It's actually my job to try to catch serial perpetrators of violent crimes across the United States.
What kinds of things try to disrupt Equestria? It doesn't sound like there are many ponies who are mean-spirited.
