Crystal Empire

The Crystal Empire, or Crystal Kingdom, is a location that appears in the third season of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. It has not been explicitly named on the show, but the My Little Pony Wedding Quiz section of Hasbro's Pony Wedding microsite identifies it as the Crystal Empire. A blurb on one of the toy sets based around the Empire says that Princess Cadance and Shining Armor "lead the Crystal Empire together!"

Depiction in the series
The Crystal Empire is featured during the song Ballad of the Crystal Ponies. It is described as having a rich culture and long history, is shown to be inhabited by tiny ewes, and is said to be inhabited by ponies referred to as Crystal Ponies. The term "Crystal Pony" had previously been used in merchandise by the translucent Special Edition Crystal Pony keychains.
