What is the name of the magical land where the ponies live?

The magical land where the ponies live is called Equestria.

Equestria is the main fictional setting of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and much of the wider franchise. It is a kingdom inhabited by ponies and many other intelligent creatures, including dragons, griffons, yaks, and changelings. Ponyville, Cloudsdale, and Canterlot are important locations within Equestria rather than alternative names for the entire land.

The series describes Equestria as being founded when the three major pony tribes—earth ponies, pegasi, and unicorns—set aside their rivalry. Their cooperation defeated the Windigos, creatures whose power was strengthened by hatred and division. This origin is celebrated in the Hearth’s Warming tradition, a major holiday in Equestrian culture.

Canterlot serves as the capital and royal seat for much of the series, while Ponyville is the rural community where Twilight Sparkle and her friends live. Cloudsdale is a city in the sky associated with pegasi and weather control. These place names are common distractors because each is strongly connected to the ponies’ world, but Equestria is the broader country or realm.
