Valleyside

Valleyside City is a tier 2 city and capital of the HelloMiners Soviet Union (HMSU), located to the east of Valley City.

History
Following the development of a shopping mall with good travel links to nearby cities Eastside, Valley City and Nivalis, a new city was established by the player Thendil, called Valleyside City and was approved on April 24th, 2020.

On the August 7th, 2020, the owners of Nivalis gave permission for Valleyside to establish an area connected to the highway where building began on a new airport and residential district next to the mall.

Move to Communism
As the city grew the mall became a focus for Valley City expansionism due to the development of a new beach area and the mall being in competition with Agora, whose co-owner was also player manager of Valley City at the time. An ancient landmark on the server called Cabintown, which was the first settlement on the server stood as a buffer zone for Valley City. Despite attempts by the player manager to redevelop Cabintown and destroy Valleyside, this eventually failed and the player manager was subsequently banned for various reasons.

A number of regions owned by the city were lost during this period as the Valley City region expanded from being 120 blocks from the city to bordering Valleyside. As a result the mall closed down, causing the city to seek out communism as a viable alternative.

By March 13th, 2021, development had begun on a new headquarters for the ruling political party in Valleyside. After discussions with political leaders Just1SkullzyBoi and Mayor Thendil, permission was given by Thendil to establish the city as a founding member of the HelloMiners Soviet Union.

Hostilities with W.A.S.P
Following the city's move to communism, the HMSU maintained hostilities towards the owner's of Agora and their city Argos. A defence pact was signed with the nation of Dove Valley and soon after the United States of Sodom declared their intention to join in a war against the HMSU with leaders from other cities joining, calling themselves the commanders for the Worldwide Agreement on Server Protection (W.A.S.P).

During this time nightly raids occurred regularly on the city with propaganda being dropped regularly on the city. Soon after, the city of Stalingrad fell to W.A.S.P control and the HMSU's Marshall Gurbanguly and General Secretary RadiantRanger26 sought a ceasefire to end hostilities. Gurbanguly would later become Chairman of the HMSU.

Following a period of exile, Chairman Thendil returned and together with Gurbanguly, established the HMSU as a nation state, purchasing other cities including the neighbouring cities of Valencia and Paradise Falls.

Geography
The city is located between two mountain regions to the east of Valley City and to the north of Solaris City. It shares a snowy tundra biome with Nivalis and Valencia to the East.
