History
Foundation and early years
The area of modern-day Valaysia has been inhabited by farmers for a few years and in that time, a small road system and buildings had been developed. On June 28th 2023, President of Vindex Nation Dixie Normous along with a team of explorers 'discovered' the vast arable area, and colonised it in the name of Vindex Nation, thus creating the Protectorate of Valaysia. This meant that the state would remain self-governing and could exercise all freedoms as per previously, but under the protection of the Vinish Armed Forces. President Normous (and his appointed Colonial Governor Ludwig van Boathoven) set out a clear vision for the development of the protectorate, which would see high economic growth and development. Rich in natural resources, the exports of primary products (sugar cane and tin) and manufactured products (alcohol and pottery) caused the establishment of the Valaysian Chartered Company (VCC) by the colonial government in order to capitalise on this natural advantage with Governor Boathoven acting as the first President. The influx of high-skilled labour from Vindex Nation to manage the VCC meant that the demand for luxury goods and services rose. To accomodate this and further encourage emigration to Valaysia, the first building constructed by the colonial administration was the Valaysia Golf Club's Dragon Clubhouse (pictured), a mountain-top lodge resting upon a mountain overlooking Lake Normous.
The first official settlement and seat of government in Valaysia was established in July 2023

Economy
With the beginning of well-planned economic activities under Vinish administration, the Valaysian authorities began to open land for agriculture, and native land rights began to be formed. The government however felt that the native population was too small and unsuited to meet the requirements of modern development, so they began to sponsor various schemes for the migration of Vinish workers from Viridis and San Amaro.
