>she treats the books as her religions and she has always been obsessive about certain things.Lesson Zero, What about Discord, the movie to put some examples proves that she cannot handle it as perfectly as she should but she has definitely gained some confidence over time.

Exactly.

>Consideering that she knows about how Equestria works, it´s really weird to see her surprised about that.

Again, the show has done this before, so I'm not going to hold it aginst them too strongly, but she has displayed a familiarity with Government before and was the type of pony who seeked out knowledge on the most mundane to advanced things on a subject. You'd think she'd know about them, at least there existence. She went to the School for gifted unicorns, if they are such a regulatory body you'd think there would be "time for the EEA inspection" EEA approved stamps or something of the short she had to have seen. Not to mention asking Celestia about all forms all the various operations of Government.

>Indeed,it could have lasted a few episodes for the build up and some duels between each other to see how deeply diferent views they have.

It would have been interesting if his xenophobia was more subtle, and put more emphasis to him seeing Twilight as somepony who was too young and reckless and needed to be reigned in/managed. Agreed, he could have been cooler as a consistent political enemy.

>The diplmomatic views in the centre of Equestria seem elitism and that might explain view Celestia and Twilight are the friendly figures for external relationship, also explaining why ponies never went beyond the Everfree Forest nor had any interest to visit those far away places.

Elitism of the top, plus fear considering some of the threats we've seen. Equestria itself is not fully untamed either at least it used to be Monsters in the everfree. And hostile actors acting within walking distance to Ponyville such as the Diamound Dogs, along with not the best relations with some of their neighbors until recently in the form of the buffalo. A head cannon I used to have too was that long range transport wasn't that well developed do to us use to seeig them only walking on hoof or on train for at least a day and night, but with all the outings recently to other counires and far off lands in a single ep, I'm not sure how well that holds up. Though I suppose we do have the answer Cartoon Logic
