I think that Ponyville may become a bit of a boom town. There will be lots of construction to build consulates for various nations who want to have representatives in the Court of Friendship. High-class shops and other services will move into the town to supply the new dignitaries and there will be a wave of house-building for the new support sector workers moving in to support the shops and consulates.

I'd expect Ponyville to double in population and more than triple in size within five years. It will be a less peaceful and homely town but that's what happens when you become the de facto capital of a kingdom.
