Redstone Valley
Redstone Valley, commonly referred to as "Red." is a corporate nation of company towns administered by the Red. CEO Mitomon, identifiable by the fashionable red tie and pocket square. Redstone Valley is located south of Soraryius in the flower forest, Toe Forest. Along with Toe Forest, Red. also owns the southwestern ocean territory on the southern world border, claimed after an international survey yielded positive results regarding ocean monument conservation.
History
Geography
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 Notos 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.
ATRaC is located on a swamp biome with a river and deep ocean biome running through it.

Environmental Policy
Nature is meant to be molded by the crafter. If it weren't, why would it be so easily modifiable and replaceable? Some crafters have resurrected islands and created entire mountains. The divinity of nature that others worship is not recognized in Redstone Valley. Research is underway to prove this. However, the aesthetics of modern Red. builds are not at all in agreement with those seeking to soil the land due to laziness. While crafters may modify the world as they please, that power comes with the responsibility to ensure that whatever is built looks better than what the natural world could ever hope to create.
Political Policy
Redstone Valley takes a holistic utilitarian approach to all political involvement, balanced by the "Don't Be Evil" belief outlined in the Code of Conduct. This has led to some expressing the notion that Redstone Valley could be "the glue that holds the world together." Redstone Valley currently has favorable relations with almost all nations of Elgeis.
Controversies
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 declaring 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, 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.
Economy
Science and Technology
On 5/25/2022, the ATRaC tract including the Tower of Babel was annexed by Redstone Valley to further transportation research. This was done after consulting Captin_Roman to ensure no immediate plans had been made for the building.
A single day after its creation, ATRaC managed to cage a wither boss successfully and simultaneously divert its explosive projectiles, thus creating the world's first Blockticle Accelerator. This went on to generate both wither roses and obsidian for Redstone Valley.
Restaurants
One of the Redstone Valley companies, McMito's, has established locations around the world, with construction underway at Creenis, Nordomontoj, and Redstone Valley, along with plots secured for future locations in , Wohlstand, and Montrose. The McMito's currently serve as McChicken dispensers and plan to add drink offerings like the McFlurry and Dr. Kelp for loyal Redstone Valley customers.

Culture and Society
Literature
Currently, there have been two books published by Redstone Valley, An Amiable Ally and An Introduction to Blockticle Physics. The first is a 69 page science fiction and fantasy story told mainly from the main character's point of view. In it, the protagonist tires of his old traditional way of life after discovering the marvels of technology through a chance encounter with a rather dashing stranger. The tale describes the result of advancing efficiency while sticking to one's traditional beliefs.
An Introduction to Blockticle Physics was created after research at ATRaC resulted in the direct observation of blocks, blockticles, and particles. The book describes the various properties of each type of substance (all colloquially known as blockticles) and gives a brief introduction to science itself.
Code of Conduct
The Redstone Valley Code of Conduct also referred to as the CoC (see oh see) are the guidelines by which all Redstone Valley employees interact with themselves and with the general public. Notable segments include mandatory protection for dogs in Red(and the exclusion of cats) and the anti-intoxication clause prohibiting the use of alcohol or illicit substances during work hours. The CoC has unfortunately been seen as an attempt at Creenis humor by some members of the public. To remedy this, the creation of a Code of Conduct Knowledgebook is underway to dispel this confusion.
Landmarks
Apple Campus
Apple Campus was the first big build by Mitomon. It was unfortunately subject to delays because of concrete unavailability due to the non-renewable nature of sand. Construction began on May 5, 2022 and has not yet been completed.
Redstone Tower
As the concrete scarcity bogged down construction of Apple Campus, Redstone Valley architects set out to find a concrete-free way to build structures with both utility and the Redstone Valley aesthetic. On May 12th, 2022, construction began on the project. Redstone Tower has become a signature example of overcoming challenges to attain Redstone Valley's shining future.
Toe Gang Museum
Ongstoes' house was converted into the Toe Gang Museum as a way to preserve the impact of ToeGANG on Elgeis. Many relics, entities, and artifacts can be seen here by the general public. Among the artifacts present are signs proving Prince Excalibur's existence, ongstoes' head, the doors FlyingGMM used to trap them with, and various cats named after players like Gabe and ArcherAce3m.
Unnamed Moss Building
The unnamed moss building currently serves as both the agricultural center for RSV as well as the closest NELT entrance to downtown Red. It is one of the more futuristic building designs present in Redstone Valley.
