Would be interesting

I think he is related to king Grover somehow

@Mildgyth
Oh! Yeah I guess that makes sense.

I think they were mentioning the thing about Gallus being Grover. technically, you could spin it like that, but we don’t know how many kings there were between him and Guto. for all we know, it might have been centuries from his time until the time the Arimaspi attacked.

@Background Pony #BD32
What reality you from? :P Debbie Downerverse?

@Phantom Rider  
then he fuck up and when he dies the entire griffon kingdom collapses, good job gallus

@Phantom Rider  
So basically Grover stays in the past permanently in order for history to stay the same? Wouldn’t that make him his own ancestor? I’m so confused!

Time travel. Gallus was Grover! They’ll do some sort of time travel adventure and he ends up staying to help drag the griffons out of the dark age or whatnot.

@SugarHoneyIceTea123  
It most likely won’t happen, but for other reasons. That said, I’m confident these writers could pull it off if they put their minds to it. Boiling political stuff down for easy accessibility is easier than you’d think, with the only tricky part being potential extrapolations leading to varied interpretations, ie, Starlight’s “equality”.

@Stotter  
Sadly, as cool as all of that sounds, it will probably never happen.
 
As much as I enjoy the show, and as much as the show’s writers try as much as they can to cater to, shall we say, the periphery demographic, the show is still, always was, and always will be intended for little children.
 
Now, not at all saying children’s shows should dumb things down for the little tykes. But a series of episodes heavily dealing with comprehensive and systemic economic and socio-economic restoration of a dilapidated, fallen kingdom and the resulting cultural and sociological effects such reforms would have on not only the kingdom itself but the neighboring nations might just go over the little ones heads just a tad.
 
Abd that’s IF it even manages to grab their attention.
 
Still a cool idea though. Someone should make, like, a fanfic or somethin’.

Silverstream: “I know how to make Griffonstone great again!”  
Gallus: “Seriously, Silver?”  
Silverstream: “Ok bad joke- BUT! I do have an idea!”  
Gallus: “What is it?”  
Silverstream: “Grandpa Gruff essentially runs it right now as a bit of an ambassador of sorts, right?”  
Gallus: “Kinda, not really. Why?”  
Silverstream: “Being specifically selected to go makes you a bit of a delicate for their land then, right?”  
Gallus: “I mean I guess- where are you going with this?”  
Silverstream: “Well I’m the cousin of Princess Skystar and know how I said we could become family?.”  
Gallus: “Silverstream, could you just- wait…”
 
THIS PIC

Gallus the kingliest of phallus’s.

@Frustration in Excelsis  

 
I’m pretty sure he was called “King Thorax” in one of the Convocation of Creatures comics, but nowhere else officially.

@Frustration in Excelsis  
I was wondering more if isolated races would get more involved in the international community.

@Stotter  

 
Hasn’t he been referred to as king? I can’t for the life of me remember if that’s happened on the show or if it’s only popular fanon.
 

 
As in who’s in charge of them? We haven’t really seen anything of the zebras beyond Zecora herself, so there’s not much to speculate from there, but the kirin have Rain Shine.
 

 
Klugetown’s probably reverted to whatever system it followed before the Storm King came along – i.e., it probably doesn’t have much of a government beyond whichever crime lord has more push at given moment.

@Anon-a-Miss  
Queen.

Hail to the king!

@Stotter  

 
I think you’re thinking about a parliamentary monarchy there; constitutional monarchy only means the monarch has rules he/she has to follow, and doesn’t have absolute power. But, such as it happened here, it’s possible to have a constitution and yet the monarch still hold most of actual power.
 
As for the others, In my headcanon;
 

 
He had no territories of his own other than what he conquered/taxed; they’d revert to their former owners.
 

 
Probably some local ruler/warlord who was subject to the Storm King.
 

 
There wasn’t any unified currency in his domains to begin with.

Still hoping for that twist where he turns out to be a direct descendant of the last griffon king, someone who would be king if the monarchy hadn’t fallen, and there’s debate about whether to restore it or move on with a better system. Ponies may offer constitutional monarchy as a compromise but it gets rejected as keeping around monarches after they become useless, a subtle reference to fandom’s “useless Celestia” meme. This starts up discussions among the other races, like what is Thorax’s official title now? Should certain leaders be called Prince/Princess or King/Queen? What of the kirin and zebras and others? Separate matter, who gets to administer what parts of the Storm King’s former territory? Like, who’s in charge of Klugetown? What currency replaces storm bucks?

nice one

@JP  

 
People said the same thing about Gilda.

The way things are going, he’s probably going to be Griffonstone’s new king one day.

He will make Griffonstone great again.

You see, now I want this to happen
