Line 43:
Valex was founded by a small group of refugees from [[SPQR (Civcraft 2.0)|SPQR]] amidst political turmoil. Desiring a break from the past and making the most out of the opportunity to try something new, a cyberpunk theme and corporate governance style was chosen (Draft structure can be viewed [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9W0RCbU4GqCRkJYSlEyMFhsUjFaVy03LTNIRjVCbXIxdmpJ/edit?usp=sharing here]). Since then, both old and new friends have joined the corporation and its city, which quickly developed into a thriving nation.
Jaghut, Direct of Strategy, explains Valex's current focus in an interview appearing in the [[Fellowship Tribune]]: ''"The last round of share issues went far beyond our expectations, and provided the financial basis for the company to keep paying dividends at their previous levels for months if necessary. However, at the same time a sharp increase in competition in materials and a sharp decrease in activity meant that continuing on as usual would only yield mediocre results. Financially, income streams from material wealth was diminishing at that time and we now had the funds and resources to differentiate ourselves - all our initial goals had been achieved, so we turned to the future. What would the Valex of tomorrow look like? How would it continue to be unique? We've significantly increased the wealth of all shareholders and built an amazing little city in the process, but what next? We made the decision then to focus on long-term projects - projects that would not merely turn a small profit, but help build a safer and more prosperous server as a whole - to enable a higher achieving Civcraft. I see the Valex of today as an investment vehicle to help enable those unique projects."''
The name 'Valex' comes from a portmanteau of Valcar and Alexandria - two proposed names of a concept village to be built under the SPQR banner prior to the split.

Remnant was founded as the capital of Valex, and from the start the theme chosen was cyberpunk.
This is reflected in not only its government structure, but the architecture and design of the city and its builds.

An agricultural focused settlement sponsored by Valex and structured as a monarchy led by King Derg, Censure is a small
Somewhat isolationist by nature, Censure is far enough from city centres to be quiet and peaceful, while not remaining too distant from trade and travel points. There are several opportunities to contribute, such as building, landscaping or helping with its famed agricultural output.
Travellers are welcome to stop by and restock their supplies, while a relaxed build code and free materials let citizens quickly set up a secure base for the beginning of their Civcraft adventures.
==== History ====
The town of Censure started life as a small settlement called El'Harim, founded by Griffin777xD a dedicated [[newfriend]] who had spent the month previous travelling Civcraft.
Following sustained recruitment efforts, the town started to take shape, especially with the arrival of the then-newfriend Derg.
The town progressed quickly, obtaining factories at a fast pace, and terraforming the terrain to allow for food produce and tree farms. A notable challenge encountered however, was the frequent issue of visitors stopping and eating the hay roads of the town.
After a period of declining activity amidst the struggling leadership of Griffin, Derg took on more and more responsibility for developing the town. It was during the time that this name of the town was changed to Censure, to reflect the changing demographics of the town and its neighbours.
Following a brief power struggle, Valex Corporation installed Derg as its administrator and reformed the government to a monarchy.
Since that time, expansion of the town has seen little progress as its citizens focus on producing materials and goods for its neighbours to the south.
