I saw Jerma playing a game called Gazillionaire. I thought about a game like this for MLP. And seeing this game gave me a clearer idea. Either you would be in control of Equestria or your own Ponyland or Ponytopia. Either Celestia is not there or your an advisor to Celestia giving her suggestions which could be interesting. I can't make the game for pen and paper. It was easy to make games in flash but it must be even easier by now with modern game makers.
Ponies wouldn't give taxes, they'd give tribute money, however much they feel like giving, meaning they'd have a happiness meter or awe meter inspired meter and depending on that they'd give a certain amount. Each town would have different meters. Then you have ways of gaining bits and losing bits and other events. Ponyville is late on winter wrapup. Take a loan out from the Griffons. Fund Milky Way's experimental new cheese business. A bad harvest, bail out Sweet Apple Acres or let it shut down. You can potentially have ponies come to ask for royal judgements on things.
And I've thought of some other things how it would work, but I'll see if this is something that can even be made reasonably. I'm just trying to see which game maker can make these business simulator type of games and I'm not really getting the answer to that. Maybe just use flash I guess because Flash is perfect for these kinds of games where the only interaction is pressing big buttons.
