'''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.

=== Previous Inhabitants and Pre-Redstonian History ===
The first known inhabitants of what is now mainland Redstone Valley were the citizens of [[Ravvsend]] and [[ToeGANG]] . They ended up fighting each other over ownership of the flower forest in the [[Unnecessary War]]. Later on, ToeGANG was absorbed into [[HUM]] to protect the land in the absence of its owners, and then returned upon their return. ToeGANG later abandoned the land again on 11/07/2020. That same day, [[Doctor Hound]] announced that [[Fianna]] was annexing the land. On 12/13/21, Fianna announced it would be releasing the old toeGANG land politically, but would still protect it to ensure it was given to a new player to join them in the Central region.
 
=== Initial Settlement (5/3/2022 - 5/5/2022) ===
Mitomon ended up being that new player and began construction of Apple Campus almost immediately in what is now San Jose. The repair and renovation of the Very Big Observatory was also completed at this time. After a week of sand and gravel gathering by [[Mitomon]] and later [[Trimyy]], tons of white concrete had already been made for Apple Campus, and it still had not been completed. During this time, Redstone Valley accepted donations of bricks and traded stacks of sand for glass to [[StonkseleksI]]. The scale of the build was simply too much however, so the construction of a new headquarters made out of a less time-consuming material was commenced. After the first floor of Redstone Tower was created, other projects and farms, such as the iron and wool farms, were created. Luckily, development was fairly quick due to the nature of the land being settled. ToeGANG had built rudimentary farms for food, wool, and feathers while also having a storage full of concrete, wood, and other materials. Because of this and other land improvements, Redstone Valley was able to get a great head start despite being a new single-player nation. Globally, the creation of Red. was celebrated with some calling it the most "based" nation in Elgeis history.
 
=== The Honeymoon Period / Single Player Nation (5/6/2022 - 6/16/2022) ===

==== Creenis Moment ====
On May 6,2022, [[PeenorCreenis]], ruler of [[Creenis]], announced a formal alliance with Redstone Valley and [[Montrose]] as a gesture of gratitude for those two nations assisting his and Creenis' inception in Elgeis. However, this was done without consulting either nation beforehand, leading to a quick retraction of the statement and negotiations between the nations. Eventually, all three became allies as a result of this.
 
====West Sea Confederation Moment ====
After declaringRed. declared the message: "After carefully analyzing the results of the global survey last week, we have found that less than 18% of respondents considered draining an ocean monument to not be morally flawless. Despite this, an overwhelming majority (88.2%) would be excited to tour a drained monument to enjoy the architecture, partake in minigames, or learn about guardian biology. In the interest of both science and historical preservation, Redstone Valley will establish a corporate office in the highlighted area below to begin preparations for the operation and preserve one of the few remaining wild ocean monument sites. An official name for this area will be announced during the opening ceremony after construction ends," the [[West Sea Confederation]] announced it had not allowed the acquisition and invited Redstone Valley to negotiations involving potentially ceding the territory. Seeing Ocean Monument preservation as highly important and having not known the WSC even existed, Redstone Valley agreed and left the talks after having the claims were approved with the condition that the unused sea area should be returned to unclaimed status after construction.

=== The Slimeblock Period / Economic and Population Boom (6/17/2022 - 6/27/2022) ===
Near the end of the second month of its existence, Redstone Valley had already partnered with great allies, created a few buildings, and made more farms. HoweverDespite that, this linear growth would not be enough to place Red on the global stage. However, series of events led to both [[Strider112358]] and [[Bluedude104]] joining the Valley. This period is named after the slime block as it can propel entities to large heights similarly to how the new members led to almost immediate Redstone Valley global relevance. By the end of this period, with the country existing for less than two months, Redstone Valley was already an economic powerhouse and more industrialized than many of Elgeis' established nations.
 
==== Emerald Enterprise Acquisition ====
Line 64 ⟶ 68:
 
==== The New Wither Zone and R Combinator ====
The nation had developed a novel approach to fast, renewable travel. AIt was discovered that a wither blockticle(wither head projectile) could be controlled with a long channel of bubble elevators and aimed at a tower that the passenger would throw an ender pearl into. The pearl would be hit with the explosive power of the wither blockticle and be launched much farther than a thrown ender pearl could. This new idea however, required a long strip of barren land, and so on August 3rd, 2022, Mitomon announced the now infamous (and defunct) New Wither Zone to build the upgraded version of the [[Blockticle Accelerator]] he had designed, to be located inside the land [[Pawnch]] had unclaimed in the eastern desert. <blockquote>Howdy loyal Redstone Valley customers, current, and future allies! We @Redstone Valley have a few announcements to make today. Some of you may have logged on to Elgeis recently and wondered to yourself, " Where is my favorite CEO Mitomon?", as I have not been online even to AFK like usual. Do not worry, for I am perfectly fine and have simply been creating and improving upon some new products for you to enjoy! Unfortunately, those will be announced at a later date, but let's just say, if you like Chess by @Insidious_Apple , you are really gonna love this ;] (no, it is not Chess 2). Now, onto the real announcements: as the less attentive of you may have already noticed, we are claiming the Championis desert and naming it the New Wither Zone. After listening to some customer feedback, we realized many people, especially those of the Grove Faith, were uncomfortable with us conducting wither testing under the GANG TOB above ATRaC. We always encourage consumer feedback as we strive to maintain a healthy work and play environment for those of all races, nationalities, and faiths. For that reason, we will be conducting all future Blockticle Accelerator-related research in the NWZ. Now everyone can happily engage in parkour and other TOB-related activities above ATRaC. Please note, regular ATRaC research will continue there, and our international researchers are free to conduct Blockticle research in their plots if they need to. Why this region specifically? Well, if placed in the center, we are able to avoid major civilization centers, historical sites, and also reduce containment breach damage in case of the rare, unlikely scenario where the worst happens. We will also be close enough to our Eastern allies @Oostland and @Creenis for them to provide containment support, if necessary. There also won't be a TOB above it. Now, what are the A and B tracts? Redstone Valley is also excited to announce the creation of the R Combinator startup nation accelerator! Making and running a nation is ''hard'', especially for those new to Elgeis, but creating a corporate nation is ''even harder''. There are relatively few corporate nations in the history of Elgeis, and the R Combinator will attempt to help potential founders dreaming of leading one by backing them with our industrial and scientific might. We will work intensively with new corporate nations for the duration of their training, to get them into the best possible shape and refine their policies, products, and consumer base. We will also instill in them the value behind historical buildings. Any founder deciding to settle a tract with historical sites will have to protect the sites or be terminated from the program. Each tract will be gifted to qualified applicants accepted into the program after successful completion of it. But RC doesn’t end upon program completion. We and the RC alumni network will continue to help founders for the life of their company, and beyond. The tract sizes may change depending on a specific startup's needs as we see fit, these are only suggestions. That's all for now, and I hope you have a Redtastic ™️ Day! </blockquote>

Along with the Blockticle Accelerator 2.0, the claim also included the A and B tracts to be used for the R Combinator- a program designed specifically to help new nations. This event was closely followed by the unrelated dissolution of the ally state [[Notos]] on the third and the breaking of the alliance by Montrose on the fourth. This then led to Mr.Dutch's discontentment with Mitomon to rise in a libelous post on the sixth. The announcement was later walked back in an apology post on 8/22/2022 with Redstone Valley confident in the support of their remaining allies.

=== The Sculk Period (9/4/2022 - 12/7/2022) ===
The sculk period was marked by the rapid expansion of the world border, the addition of large cave systems under what was previously bedrock, and the sudden appearance of wardens, sculk, and ancient cities. It led to more political turmoil and ultimately growth for Redstone Valley.
 
==== The 1.19 Event ====
Line 81 ⟶ 85:
 
==== Deep Dark Mountains ====
On 9/4/2022, the world expanded and those seeking to discover new lands ventured forth. Mitomon chose to focus on what is now the [[Redstone Sea]] area, specifically the mountains and cave systems west of Emerald Enterprise. He found a strange and eerie biome no one had ever seen before, the Deep Dark. It was filled with sculk blocks and was the location of the very first sighting and screenshotting of a Warden by none other than Mitomon himself. Since it was so rare and the Ozai and Wohlstanders had expressed their interest in raiding and griefing Redstone Valley outposts, all cards were on the table for the protection of this rare yet unexplored biome. That very day, RSV claimed the enormous area where the biome was suspected to be along with another large parcel in the northeast of elgeis as a red herring. Though unorthodox and unprecedented, the red herring strategy was justified due to the non-functional nature of player-placed shriekers. This plan was effective in protecting the area as looters like [[Coblue]] quickly descended on the designated area to steal the disc fragments and swift sneak enchantments. Redstone Valley's enemies took advantage of this political overclaiming and issued an ultimatum threatening RSV with war if all possessions outside of the Valley itself were not forfeited, citing the alleged lack of use of the land and "imperialism". Notably, one of the supporters of this threat was Wohlstand, the largest nation in elgeisElgeis by landmass, yet one of the smallest by active population.

Line 91 ⟶ 95:
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 Restoration of Mangrove Park''' ====
[[File:Mangrove Park.png|thumb|260x260px|Mangrove Park promotional poster]]
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 SandBamboo Period (12/8/2022 - Present2/8/2023) ===
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 small amount of land from [[Schevakia]] at their request, and the teasing of a new project at the Deep Dark Mountain claim. External factors such as the Schevakian Civil War and the [[Great Floppa War]] influenced policy decisions in the nation but it was ultimately uninvolved.
 
==== POLR Ice Company and [[catcherzw]] Terrorist Attack ====
Hoping to leave the chaos of politics behind to focus on work, Mitomon set off to build an ice farm as the world desperately needed the resource following the warming of the mountaintops after the world expansion. The build began on December 16 and Mitomon did not sleep until its completion on the 18th when it was subsequently announced and the land it was on claimed. While working on this project, the Schevakian Civil War was ongoing with players from both sides logging on at various points throughout the build. During one of these encounters, catcherzw, [[Supermar360]] , and Mitomon made various jokes about the state of global affairs. As Schevakian catcherzw had made a faction during that instance, Supermar and Mitomon engaged in a mock auction to see who would purchase catcherzw's new faction. Soon after he left, [[The Brunt]] logged on and asked for help finding catcherzw. As the would-be terrorist himself had made it fairly obvious, Mitomon informed the King of the rebel's new faction. That was all it took for catcherzw to accuse Mitomon of manipulating him into creating a faction so that the king could find him easily, attempt to paint him in a bad light by lying about the mock auction in order to make it sound serious, and finally detonate a TNT on one of the roads in San Jose. The POLR Ice farm was completed shortly after catcherzw's announcement making the announcement seem like an odd response to the terrorist attack. That same day it was discovered that [[HUM]] had provided catcherzw with explosives with [[GoatWhisperer]] himself giving him TNT instead of the sand he had asked for. HUM admitted that the plan was for catcherzw to use the TNT on Schevakia, not Redstone Valley, but downplayed the terrorist attacks effect and damage. This ultimately led to [[Kaab]] breaking the alliance with HUM.
 
==== Hybrasil Hijinks ====
On the 16th of January, camaradultudor announced the capture of [[ThePoptartTARDIS]] and the end of all hostilities with his country [[Lososha]]. As the Ozan leader had previously made it a point that once Poptart was captured all of the ex-Notan land would be released, Mitomon interpreted the announcement as the release of Ozan claims on Hybrasil. As he had been friends with [[Katawicz]] due to Notos' and Redstone Valley's alliance, the CEO announced the claiming of Hybrasil for Red. This ended up in a back and forth between the two leaders as camara claimed the land had not been unclaimed after all while Mito brought up the Ozan's previous promises. In the end, the land was unclaimed again with the promise that Redstone Valley would help Katz liberate his land if he ever returned.
 
==== New Ocean Monument Claim Ratified ====
After much back and forth between the WSC and Mitomon since the 8th of December, the new ocean monument claim was ratified on the 22nd of January. Originally, a tropical resort village to accompany the ocean monument was going to be built in the island by the monument, but it was cancelled after the WSC denied the request.
 
==== Aradialma Is Formed ====
On the 23rd of January, [[Pyxit]] announced the creation of [[Aradialma]] in the Redstone Sea. It was preceded by private talks between him and Mitomon as both parties wanted to be amiable neighbors. Initially, Pyxit's claim did not include the mountains directly south of the Red Peninsula, but after [[CarrieCCatharsis]] mentioned in a public chat that she was considering living in those mountains, he decided to add those to the claim and invite her to join his nation. She refused and instead asked to join Redstone Valley. As part of Aradialma's formation however, Redstone Valley requested and was granted ownership over some previously claimed areas in the Redstone Sea. These were not displayed politically to prevent border gore but were kept in the private records of both countries.
 
==== 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) 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, the Sand Period, and the present day.
