Someone had called Equastria a principality, in the description, but this is simply falls. A principality is a small state that are very dependent on its surrounding states, but no surrounding state have even been mentioned in the show and Equastria have many varied regions.

This shows that Equastria is the opposite of a principality: an empire that emcompas the entirety of a civilisation.
