'''Valeria''', formerly officially entitled (and still commonly known) as '''South Staynes''' is one of four constituent countries within [[Great Morstaybishlia]]. It exists in central [[Aurora]] bordering (from left to right); [[Axdel]], [[Staynes]], [[Valerica]], [[Rosalica]], [[Durentrus]] and [[Asilica]]. South StaynesValeria recorded a population of 166.38 million people in its 2019 census. It's capital city is Kirdintayos. The nation is best known for the [[Zycannes]], the semi-arid Sperran Desert and its cold, jagged coastline.

Following the [[Auroran Imperial War]] in 1975, South StaynesValeria declared itself an independence sovereign state from [[Great Morstaybishlia|Morstaybishlia]]. The nation was ruled by Greta Vardem until her assassination in 1977. The same year the country signed a political union with the United Kingdom of Morstaybishlia to form the United Kingdom of Great Morstaybishlia.

South StaynesValeria has always suffered with greater income disparity compared to the other three constituent countries of Great Morstaybishlia. In 2016, about 16 percent of the population were under the national average. A system integration program was established in 2005 to try and sway more people to move to urbanised areas and live above or at minimum wage according to [[UNAC]] standards. However, this has only resulted in a small percentage of change.

South StaynesValeria had been inhabited by a native sentient species of elf long before the arrival of early anatomically modern humans. Humans lived among [[Species#Usprian Elves|Usprian elves]] from as early as 10,000 BCE and arrived from primarily the [[Ethalns]] but also around the mountain passage in modern day Valerica. After the invention of agriculture, tribes bore the most resemblance to those from the Ethalns but began their own identity as early as 500 BCE. Tribes that later developed into small kingdoms were typically of mixed species, though it is evident that they rarely interbred.

South StaynesValeria (then as Staynes) became one of the earliest regions in Aurora to begin the Industrial Revolution, and as jobs became increasingly in demand in high density urban areas, a large urbanisation event occurred. Some cities today are direct results of the Industrial Revolution, including the nations capital, Kirdintayos.

When the [[Great War]] broke out, South StaynesValeria became one of the larger theatres of war in Aurora. It was hit hard with economic depression in the later stages of the war and post-war, where political revolutionaries attempted to fight for independence, but failed. When [[Thadeus II|King Thadeus II]] gave over his right to [[Wikipedia:Absolutism|absolutism]], South StaynesValeria was administered as a territory rather than a constituent country within Morstaybishlia until 60 years later.

At the breakout of the [[Auroran Imperial War]], South StaynesValeria became the first theatre of war, with the Ethalrian Empire and [[Norograd]] attempting to cut Morstaybishlian control over southern Aurora before they could fully mobilise. The South Staynish managed to defeat the Ethalrians at key battles on home territory, including the Battle of Yikara and the Battle of the Sands. Following the end of the war, Greta Vardem, a South Staynish advocate for political rights held a snap referendum which saw the people vote to secede from the Empire. The referendum was later seen as illegal, but nonetheless Greta Vardem became the first President of South StaynesValeria, though with little to no international recognition. When Vardem was assassinated in 1977, the nation collapsed into a bloody civil war and later reintegrated with Morstaybishlia in 1977 as a constituent country to form the Kingdom of Great Morstaybishlia.
