Politics as Unusual by FanOfMostEverything [3k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
After the success of the initial wave of friendship ambassadors—so much so that it unearthed multiple other Trees of Harmony—Twilight has happily pushed Equestria's global goodwill tour to every corner of the globe, no matter how remote or obscure.
This includes pushing west of Mustangia, to the country of Mustelia and the creatures that inhabit it. Sure, they're largely carnivorous, but so are the Diamond Dogs and Abyssinians. Yes, many of the previous missions went briefly but horribly awry due to monster attacks, bad-faith actors, or ancient beings from the depths of history, but that's why Twilight picked two of the Friendship Corps' best for the job.
Yes, this is definitely, definitely going to work out in the end.
Pay no attention to Discord laughing himself sick.
