'''Redstone Valley (R.S.V or RSV)''', less commonly referred to as "'''Red.'''" is a transcontinental country that was created in [[Tierra del Fuego]]. It is a corporate nation administered by the Red. CEO [[Mitomon]], identifiable by the fashionable red tie and pocket square. The Capital of Redstone Valley, [[San Jose]], is located in the northwestern portion of Tierra del Fuego. Along with Toe Forest, Red. also inhabits the southwestern ocean territory near the southern world border, the northwestern land belonging to [[Emerald Enclave]] before they joined the nation, the swamp and meadow near the [[Redstone Sea]] and [[Aradialma]]'s western claim, the middle eastern Sacramento and Seicho town area purchased from [[Oberos]], and the San Francisco area in the southeast. Though seemingly spread out, it has a relatively small player/land ratio and is connected with massive infrastructure projects.

Current Chief Executive Officer: [[Mitomon]]
== Etymology ==
Redstone Valley was named by [[Mitomon]] due to both the geographical position of the small nation and its status as an underdog in a world with well-established nations. The "Redstone" portion serves as both the nation's emblem and its main focus of creating redstone machines. Out of character, it is meant as a parody of Silicon Valley and American pop culture. Many policy decisions in-game are linked directly to this, such as the naming of the warehouse company RedEx, but others have serendipitously and ironically occurred organically, such as the constant involvement in wars in the [[Naadic Wars|Middle East]].
While Mitomon originally hoped for the nation's name to be abbreviated as Red., [[CreeperColder]] the mapmaker of the time abbreviated it as R.S.V. The abbreviation stuck and Red. was used less and less.

Line 95 ⟶ 92:
On the 6th, bluedude discovered there had been a terrorist attack in San Jose. Upon further inspection by Mitomon, many similar attacks were found in the RSV locations Ozai had demanded be given up. Even the MISC at ATRaC was attacked, with the culprit still at large. The situation was settled after Askar agreed to protect the Seichoan Shrine if that and the Rosafina plant were unclaimed by Redstone Valley. Ozai accused RSV of creating a false flag attack and used that as justification to not declare war.

The island Mangrove Park sits on today had been used for explosives testing by [[GoatWhisperer|Goatwhisperer]] and the [[ToeGANG]] before Redstone Valley's inception, and as such was at least 6 meters below sea level. After 2 cases of sand and the importing of the new Mangrove tree and frogs, it was turned into the paradise it is today.
=== The Bamboo Period (12/8/2022 - 2/8/2023) ===
This time period began with an announcement from CEO Mitomon teasing two new projects in [[San Francisco]] alongside an expansion of that claim (then referred to as "southeastern territory"), declaring the ocean monument to be completely drained and detailing the next steps, The purchasing of a

==== Bamboo Farm Construction Begins ====
The construction of the bamboo farm can be traced back as soon as 9/18/2022 with Mitomon asking hotcocolate(aka Cocos2D,Cocos,m4elstromm) if it was possible for a small amount of land to be bought from Windiya, then in HUM. As the conversation had seemed positive at the time, farm planning and land preparation efforts began that day. However, work only began in earnest after completing the ice farm on the 18th of December. Coincidentally, [[Kyoal]] joined Redstone Valley on the 19th with the bamboo farm mountain excavation project being the very first project she worked on as an RSV Employee. On 1/31, Mitomon contacted [[Hotcocolate]] over the land again, this time more urgently, as the 200x100 farm had become setback by the lack of an agreement. This resulted in hotcocolate mocking Mitomon in public even more than previously, Mitomon asking Cocos politely to stop in the HUM embassy, and Cocos taking this as a personal challenge. Though HUM officials told him to settle down without punishing him as Mitomon had asked him to not be punished, Cocos continued to disobey and later on left HUM and signed the requested land to Redstone Valley. This project continued to be worked on in the background of the Bamboo Period

Believing the political turmoil from the Bamboo Period was over and assuming a more calm future, the nation set its sights to the future and began planning and executing many long-term projects.

With a wish to distance itself from its roots, the Second Dynasty renamed itself to [[Istamor]] in the previous time period.The emperor of Istamor [[Morizuza]] then decided to unally [[Ozai]] and simultaneously formed an alliance with Redstone Valley with the only clause being that Istamor did not have to defend RSV if it was against Ozai. The previously extinct nation of Nyania, a nation whose members RSV Employee Krabulon/CarrieCCatharsis was fond of, also revived during this time period. Diplomatic talks were initiated at her insistance and the nations also formed an alliance. Many new players joined Elgeis during this period and were all given new nation starter kits, with the most notorious being [[LettuceHeads]], a player who later on was one of the main antagonists during the [[First Naadic War]] and was subsequently killed (banned).
==== San Francisco, Project GIANO, and Van Ausland Aquisition ====
On 3/3/2023, CEO Mitomon announced the completion of the purchase of most of Oberos' eastern territory. While the transaction began on 7/03/2022 and the land paid for that same month, [[13Lights]]'s inactivity, external political turmoil, and differing schedules prevented the land from officially being ceded until eight months later. The area was temporarily named GIANO until construction began in the area.
As the player [[Moth Aus]] and his nation the [[Republic of Van Ausland]] had been inactive, he was offered a job at Red. to protect his land while he was away. He agreed and Van Aus was incorporated into Redstone Valley as AusCorp.
Lastly, the construction of the Copper Gate Bridge began as a joint project between Mitomon and [[Coolnut10]] the [[Sentinel of East Taiga]] under [[HUM]]. It sparked controversy initially as the prototyping of the gate designs was done using honey blocks, but those were to be replaced once the proper materials had been gathered. This was accompanied by the naming of the territory formerly known as "the EE Gold farm" or the "southeastern territory" to San Francisco along with a territorial expansion for the area along with work continuing on the bamboo farm.

=== The Sand Period (3/11/2023 - 5/3/2023) ===
==== First Naadic War (3/11/2023 - 3/15/2023) ====
The [[The Naadic Wars|First Naadic War]] began on March 11th after [[LettuceHeads]] DM'd Mitomon to ask about buying the entire GIANO purchase for Naador. Mitomon declined, after which Lettuce suggested they buy it back and give it to Oberos as that nation planned to allow them to use their land as they pleased. Mitomon again declined as many future projects were planned for the area. The CEO then clarified that he had no issues with the new nation of Naador, and that he would even be very open to working on border projects together with them. The two left it at that until 15 minutes later Lettuce threatened "action" if the land was not sold to them (or unclaimed by RSV so that Naador could build on it) with the "offer" again declined by Mitomon. This escalated into Paarm, the leader of the nation, annexing the entire GIANO purchase in world news. This led to an announcement by the Red. CEO to defend the nation's sovereignty and immediate support from the [[Shaxian Empire]]. That same day HUM offered to work as a mediator between the two nations which RSV accepted as a way to show willingness to prevent the onset of war despite HUM being biased against them. The talks were unfruitful as the Naadori refused to accept their problematic conduct and believed Redstone Valley to be at fault simply for buying the land from Oberos before them. Again, despite these issues, RSV accepted a ceasefire as proposed by the mediator until the next day.
A day later, Camaradultudor announced Ozai's support of Naador's conquest and promised that any of Redstone Valley's allies' participation in the war would lead to Ozai joining the war against them. Camara claimed that Paarm had asked for this support, but Cam later suggested that he had messaged him first. OOC, he clarified it to be an accident and that he hadn't messaged him first after all. In the background, Lettuce and Paarm had been speaking to all of the nations of Elgeis in an attempt to build rapport and hopefully gain more military support.
After being informed of this and the fact that the mediation still had not given any results, Red. prepared for war. Lettuce then announced that Paarm had attempted to imprison him to avoid the war and pin it all on him and Nolan despite his previous approval of it. This led to the Naadic revolution and the formation of three separate states: [[New Championis]], [[Shremmelton]], and Naador, with the first and last being controlled by LettuceHeads after Paarm was exiled and the second by NolanGamerKingYT. It was during this chaos that Redstone Valley sent troops into New Championis and Shremmelton to build fortifications and force the rulers to take back their annexation of GIANO and end the war. While RSV occupied the entirety of all three nations, Paarm was in hiding in HUM, Lettuce was banned, and Nolan was assassinated as he did not respond to any attempt at negotiating the end of the war. After he was assassinated, Nolan claimed he did not even know a war was going on and that he only wanted to just build and be an isolationist. It was later discovered through [[AliveSnowTMH]] that Nolan ''had'' in fact known about the war and planned to "hunt RSV" at Emerald Enterprise with Snow, someone he invited exclusively to join his nation to fight Red. in the war. Since Paarm was the default ruler of the countries of New Championis and Naador, negotiations for that area were done with him, while separate negotiations were conducted with Nolan as Paarm insisted he had nothing to do with the nation of Shremmelton. The conflict ended with the Treaties of San Francisco, one destroyed the previous nations of New Championis and Naador, forming the new nation of Naador, and the gifting of the RSV-occupied land to Paarm. The other destroyed the old nation of Shremmelton with a new Shremmelton taking its place and the gifting of that RSV-occupied territory to NolanGamerKingYT. No reparations were asked from the new rulers with the only requirements of both treaties being the permanent end of hostilities from both nations and the promise to not create any laws marginalizing any group in the new nations by their rulers. In exchange, RSV would give them all of the land their old nations used to control and form economic and defensive alliances with them to help rebuild their nations with protection while they did so.
==== Second Naadic War/Shrimpleton War (3/19/2023 - 3/22/2023) ====
Four days after the previous war, Nolan decided to voice chat with [[Wohlstand]] about some land he wanted that they refused to sell him. He wanted it badly enough that he declared war on "Wholstand" and accused a Wohl of calling him "gay". He then faction claimed the area and was advised through DMs by Mitomon to stand down as RSV would not defend him due to their alliance being only defensive in nature. Nolan said that it would be fine. [[Nyania]] then announced their support for their ally Wohlstand and both nations launched an assault on the nation now referred to by the defenders as "Shrimpleton". Thirty minutes later Nolan DM'd Mitomon asking him to "call in RSV" to help Shremmelton. Mitomon declined as Nolan had created this mess himself but announced he would be open to being a mediator between both parties. Mitomon once again advised Nolan to reconsider the war and Nolan doubled down by saying, "I will not back down."
After another Wohl/Nyanian allied raid, both Shrems (Nolan and AliveSnow) were killed. Snow then denounced Nolan's actions in order to join Redstone Valley. This was permitted as he claimed to only want to build things to make the server a better place and said he was a very experienced redstoner.
The next day, Nolan announced he had killed Nyanians [[Mejackmac]] and [[Dragontek21]] and that he had griefed both Wohlstand and Nyania in retaliation for them blowing open his bunker.
Up to this point, the Treaty Nolan had signed from the First Naadic War was technically unbroken as he had not attacked Redstone Valley. However, soon after it was discovered that Nolan had send AliveSnowTMH as a spy to Redstone Valley to gather intelligence through the ally chats which he used to escape Nyania and Wohlstand, TNT which he used to grief them, and to siphon other war materials like tridents, potions, and golden apples. Since Nolan had actively sought to destabilize the nation, he was found in violation of the Treaty of San Francisco and war preparations began in RSV once more.
This all culminated the next day as Wohls, Nyanians, Shaxians, and Mitomon guarded Nolan's new bunker location in Naador for more than 24 hours as they had found his exact logout location. The spy and traitor AliveSnow had been imprisoned in a nearby crying obsidian fort made by Mitomon during the previous war after he had tried to break into Nolan's fort to free him and help him fight. He claimed a creeper had made the explosion as he didn't know creeper explosions are turned off in the server. Snow had repeatedly ignored many requests to leave the area and had not even built anything in RSV, so his motivations at this point were very clear. A video was later released to explain the situation and all of Snow and Nolan's crimes. Mitomon himself was on-site for the last twelve hours of the stakeout and combat tagged Nolan with an arrow the instant he joined the server. He along with Dragontek fought and popped Nolan's totems(that AliveSnowTMH had given him from RSV's stock) until he ran away into a tunnel underground. Mitomon and dragon then blasted the tunnel open with TNT with Nolan fleeing to the surface. Mitomon left and was replaced by bluedude who made the killing blow on Nolan after he had towered up with cobblestone.
The war ended with Shremmelton being disbanded as they had broken the treaty with the land going back to Redstone Valley. Given the alarming levels of conflict in the area during such a short period of time, Mitomon thought it best to simply wait and not do anything with the land so that tension in the area could cool down. Despite multiple clarifications that the land was only being occupied and would not be annexed by Redstone Valley, multiple parties still claimed this action to be a land grab by RSV and involved themselves politically despite not knowing anything about the region or its treaties. Less than twelve hours later, Paarm decided to call out Mitomon in world news for not giving Naador the land that used to belong to Shremmelton. Two days later he did it again and purposefully increased political hostilities in an attempt to force RSV to give him the land, eliminating him as a candidate to receive the land.
==== Kovska Gift ====
On 4/7/2023, the land of Shremmelton now referred to by its historical name of Kovska was gifted to Nyania since the nation had owned it in the past and it was extremely small despite being quite populous by Elgeian standards. The Nyanians had had a close relationship with the Kovskans back when they existed and as such sought to preserve the historical areas and use the cleared land for their people to expand into. The conditions of this gift included that the land would only be Nyanian and could not be sold or form part of another country if Nyania decided to join another nation. This was met with mixed reactions by the general public with many arguments formed from the specific wording of the gift announcement.
==== AliveSnow Conviction ====
4/16/2023 is the date the blockbuster ''The Snow Who Cried Creeper'' was released as evidence alongside the conviction of AliveSnowTMH for his work aiding the now banned terrorist Nolan and his treason of Redstone Valley. His sentence was announced to be one year, but eventually 3 months were offered as long as he was willingly imprisoned and promised to be good in the future. He did not respond and there is still a kill on sight order for him.
==== Naador Economic Treaty Terminated ====
[[File:Home Creepot Announcement.png|thumb|492x492px|The grand opening of the Home Creepot]]
At Naador's request, the defensive and economic alliance was eliminated since Paarm claimed to want to focus on just building and would practice isolationism. This was permitted as Redstone Valley had included those to aid the young nation but understood the desire to disconnect from the world and saw no harm in it.
==== Home Creepot ====
To celebrate Redstone Valley's first anniversary, the Home Creepot was announced, the largest ever collection of automatic vending machines in Elgeis. It sells armor, tridents, tools, building materials like sand, gravel, and glass, along with other items like amethyst crystals and clocks.
=== The White Dye Period (5/4/2023 - 12/31/2023) ===
==== Van Ausland Independence ====
After the first sighting of Moth_Aus in months, he posted a cryptic message stating,"
<nowiki>**</nowiki>Gday**
<nowiki>*</nowiki>I have returned from a deep hole in the ground and as the keep has not been raided and my stuff hasn’t been loaded, Van Ausland May become a political entity again.*
<nowiki>*</nowiki>i’ll have a think about it*" and then asked Mitomon about independence. The CEO allowed Moth to secede unconditionally and so the Republic of Van Ausland was recreated. Soon after, Redstone Valley also allied the nation to aid their economic development and protect them from external threats.
==== Third Naadic War ====
After regaining Ozan support, Paarm declared war on Nyania in order to take the Kovska from the nation. The ruler's justification was that despite legally owning the territory as was granted by its previous owner NolangamerkingYT, Nyania did not have enough of a historical or cultural claim to the area. This resulted in Redstone Valley joining the [[Third Naadic War]] to assist their ally Nyania.
==== Maintenance ====
In the aftermath of the war, RSV buckled up and set to recover and focus on building. Roads and small farms were built, personal projects were started, and larger farms were improved. Most of this work was notable in Sacramento and San Francisco.
==== Moth_Aus Terrorist Attack ====
Despite being allied to RSV, Moth_Aus decided to bomb the Emerald Enterprise city streets on 8/5/2023. In reality, Moth had been working with Paarm throughout the previous war, accepted material gifts from him, and even damaged the POLR Ice Farm with TNT. He announced his attack through the in-game chat cryptically at first, then publicly immediately after being confronted by Mitomon. He went into hiding the rest of that day until Mitomon occupied the entirety of Van Ausland. He proceeded to run to the San Jose RedEx to attempt to bomb and loot it, but was killed by one hit from Mitomon's bow as he was only wearing iron armor. Moth was later banned as he claimed he didn't "care about the server" anymore and just was "just bored." In the aftermath, some of VA's old land was claimed by RSV, some was left for new players, and a territory disputed by neighboring Aradialma was also released for new players. Aradialma also used this as an opportunity to offload extra territory including a portion of the [[Redstone Sea]] and both Yellow and Green Island.
==== Red Creeper Returns ====
On 9/4/2023, AliveSnowTMH returned from inactivity and claimed he would show RSV no mercy if they tried to imprison him. This led to a response from Mitomon reinforcing the nation's commitment to seeing justice served and then another bout of inactivity from Snow.
==== Fourth Naadic War ====
On 10/19/2023, RSV officially joined the [[Fourth Naadic War]] to help its Goomlandian allies retrieve the items stolen from them by Paarm. This led to advancement in Redtheon military technology, large investments in armament fabrication, more combat experience for RSV employees, and increased research in alternative weaponry for the nation.
==== DeathPercent Wither Bombings ====
On 12/08/2023, Mitomon announced that the Sacramento RedEx and Home Creepot had been bombed. Signs of a wither explosion near RedEx, TNT explosions on a Home Creepot wall, and wither skull pockmarks on the pavement of Squink Square were some of the notable features recovered by forensics, A loose wither in Shaxia confirmed these suspicions. With assistance from FlyingGMM and a prototype of a novel security technology researched during the Fourth Naadic War, the suspects list had been narrowed down to single person within a day of the bombing. A confession was extracted from Deathpercent, then known as kliener, in exchange for a more merciful punishment soon after the announcement. The criminal accepted the charges of two counts of attempted grand larceny, one count of petit larceny, and one count of vandalism. Instead of incarceration, DeathPercent agreed to collect twelve cases of obsidian within two months to make amends.
== Geography ==
The Redstone Valley mainland is located in the flower forest known as Toe Forest. It can be considered a valley due to the mountains on its southwest border with [[Schevakia]] and the northeastern mountains of Montrosian [[Fianna]].The southern Ocean Monument territory is a deep ocean biome with a small almost invisible river along the world border. Since the river is right beside a small island, the chain has been named Innovation Archipelago. ATRaC is located on a swamp biome with a river and deep ocean biome running through it.
=== Climate ===
=== Biodiversity and Conservation ===
==Government and Politics==
Redstone Valley was founded on 5/03/2022 and has been led by Mitomon since then. It is an autocratic technocracy made up of five main claims in locations across the Elgeis overworld. It is the world's only technocratic government, and has been since its founding, with its meritocratic ideals balanced by the Redstone Valley Code of Conduct.
Written by Mitomon, the Redstone Valley Code of Conduct serves as the country's supreme legal document, guiding all corporate and international affairs.
The corporate government comprises eight main areas, Engineering, Infrastructure, Scientific Research, Diplomacy, Defense, Economics, and Record-Keeping. These branches of government are all managed entirely by the CEO by default, though important decisions are often consulted on with other C-level members. These members are also known as faction mods. Below them are regular faction members who may still provide their input in major decisions, though they usually do not because of their own inactivity.
These areas are run by an assortment of companies made up of and led by members of Redstone Valley. While some focus solely on one area of government, others often share responsibilities between them, or in cases where a suitable company does not yet exist, with a player directly.
The current list of companies and their positions can be found [[Companies of RSV|here]].

=== Military ===
The CEO is the commander of the Redstone Valley Armed Forces, appointing leaders of general-purpose squads to take control of terrestrial, aerial, nautical, subterranean, or extradimensional points of interest. Though admittedly lackluster in the beginning, the RSVAF has unwittingly improved over time with a reluctantly constant involvement in wars. It has been involved in four defensive wars, all Naadic in origin, with varying outcomes. The engineering philosophy of seeing all problems as technical has led to some interesting results when applied to warfare. It resulted in the first large-scale crying obsidian military base built during a war, the first weaponization of wardens, and the birth of modular quadratic TNT cannons. All of these breakthroughs were seen under Redtheon, the company in charge of all military engineering in the nation.
