Sandy nods.

''The next book discusses the political situation with Trotsylvania. As the Vampire Ponies are vastly competitive with each other, and are unwilling to abide by Equestrian treaties, Equestria has embargoed them for over fifty years, regardless of the profitable items that come from the country, high end pottery, and craftsmanship, as the Vampire Ponies have been known to not age, allowing them to constantly improve their craft. The primary reason for the embargo, aside from the political reasons, is that the Vampire Ponies have disguised themselves on many occasions to try and trick ponies for their own ends. They are not to be trusted, and immigration restrictions are extremely tight.''
