Valore

Early History
Valore (Republic of Valore), is a representative democracy in the north-west quadrant. It was founded on the 3rd of July, as a successor state to Verdenland. Initially, Valore was a collective of 4 towns in Verdenland that wanted to split off. Port Haven, Ookpik, Solhom, and Thoburn. The leaders of this seccession were Aldern Thibeus and Thayn Chew, both members of the Verdenland council. They announced their seccession to Amdiux, and the rest of the server, on the 3rd of July.

Amdiux was extremely angered by this, and initially demanded them to join Verdenland again. Afterwards, he calmed down, and negotiations began. In the middle of the negotiations, Amdiux unexpected announced his leaving of the server. He handed the remaining part of Verdenland, including the capitol of Velthern, to Valore, and then promptly deleted the Verdenland server, and left all Stoneworks-related servers.

This was an unexpected move by Amdiux, and Thayn and Aldern immediately posted the proof of their new claim in the mapmakers guild. 2 nations had already tried to claim Verdenland after it disbanded, but backed down when proof was provided.

After Verdenland was annexed by Valore, multiple nations began claiming the land, even though Valore was the direct successer to it. Bogatyr, Aiosnios Impervia, and even Plagatea all attempted to claim land. This resulted in the 3 of them forming a coalition against Valore. Aldern and Thayn managed to convince Boagtyr to stand down and disband the coalition a day later. On the same day as the founding of Valore, it joined the Northern Lights Coalition, to protect itself against external threats. The Coalition consisted of Yaszuma, Varn Torum, Aristios, and many other notable nations.

Allied Wars
The Republic of Valore has taken part in many wars since its founding. It was a member of the Limuria Defence Force, and helped defend Limuria from Skjobrodir in the Limuria-Skjobrodir War, providing war materials and weapons. It also fought in the Kunir War, on the side of the USSE. After the war ended, and the USSE was reduced, they offered Valore as a place for people who were displaced by the war to go to.

The Tempesta Rebellion
On the 22nd of July, the City of Tempesta, allied with the then candidate for Speaker, Slayden, attempted to rebel and coup Valore's leaders. Their reason for this was because of multiple bandit raids, not allowing them to build Tempesta. Their tactics were simple. Find a time wherein most of Valore was asleep or offline, then take the Trading City of Solhom, before rowing down the river to take Albora.

A citizen of Solhom, Barktree, found out the plot, and decided to infiltrate their lines and act as though he was joining them. He took as much information as possible, and handed it to Aldern Thibeus and Thayn Chew. Thayn Chew decided to confront the rebels. The leader of the coup admitted to it, and the rebel leader Slayden was promptly kicked out of the nation. After a day of negotiations, it would be agreed on that Tempesta would rejoin the nation in return for Valore taking more control over it.

The Qadakh Secession Crisis
On the 3rd of August, the City of Qadakh, due to increasing tensions with their parent nation of Tetra, chose to secede from it, to form the Free City of Qadakh. Tetra immediately requested that the Northern Lights take action against the rebellion. Valore itself sent out a statement denouncing Qadakh, calling it "City of Plebs", and pledging their support to Tetra.

On the 4th of August, Qadakh made a document that was sent to the Northern Lights, containing a good amount of evidence it had against Tetra. Inside, also contained attacks on several nations who sent denouncements to Qadakh, including Valore. Qadakh claimed that since Valore itself came from a secessionist state, that it should side with them. By this time, the twin speakers of Valore, Thayn Choo and Agetio Sekovich, had already been drifting towards Qadakh's side of the argument.

But, more trouble was yet to come when MintCal, the Sultan of Tetra, started insulting the Northern Lights' leaders, Yaszuma, and its leaders targeted. Soko, the Queen of Yaszuma, was told by MintCal to quote "go kill herself". MintCal also proceded to insult Varn Torum and Valore, calling them turncoats. This was the final nail in the coffin, and Valore officially sided with Qadakh the next day. After many weeks of silence, Qadakh was bought by Nova Regna, ending the crisis.

Alliances
Valore is part of several alliances and non-aggression treaties. As part

Northern Lights
Firstly, it is a member of the aformentioned Northern Lights Coalition. Originally, Verdenland was not part of the Northern Lights, and Valore's creation almost lead to Verdenland joining the alliance just to defeat the internal threat. Luckily for Valore, Verdenland chose not to and shortly thereafter disbanded. Valore quickly joined the Northern Lights in a 11-0 vote. They became a big member in the alliance, and is the 2rd biggest in terms of land size, and the 2th biggest in terms of population.

Defensive Pacts
Secondly, they have 2 defensive pacts with the nations of Redoriv (Before known as the Kingdom of Florandia), as well as Limuria. The latter pact was signed shortly before the Battle of Skjobrodir, and was agreed upon by Aldern Thibeus of Valore, and Draphonis of Limuria. The former was signed on the 7th of July, and was meant to strengthen ties between the 2 fledgling nations. It was agreed upon by Thayn Chew of Valore, and Kyborg1000. Both pacts are purely defensive.

The Republic of Valore, is, as stated before, a representative democracy. It has a Senate, which is filled with representatives from cities across the nation.
