The written history of Cloudshy is regularly documented by Cloudite historians.

Those who read from this document, however, are said to be instantly obliterated from existence.

=== The Pony Order ===

While not a formal political institution, the Pony Order acts as the royal guard of the Princess, the Special Forces and the secret police of Cloudshy, with specific divisions within the Order dedicated to each function. The Pony Order is led by the Mare Six and is solely composed of pony immigrants from the realm of [http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Equestria Equestria]. Human associates are known as "bronies" and are not allowed full membership in the Order. Apart from the Mare Six and bronies, the internal ranking system in the Order is not known to outsiders, even Cloudite high government officials.

Officially, the Pony Order touts itself as an religious ethnic organization, which looks after the needs of the Ponies (who are prosecuted throughout much of the Universe). The Order, however, is currently mired in scandal. A public statement from a recently arrived immigrant group from Equestria claims that the Pony Order is a global organization under a solar deity known as Princess Celestia, and that the Cloudite chapter of the Order are renegades.
