Greetings Friends I have recently submitted a new UN Resolution, I feel very strongly about this cause, the concervation of Retro, and should you choose to endorse it I will galdly help to get your Endorsement Passed.

It can be found by searching for the title, Dont look to the past
Here is the text of the proposition.


Dont look to the past, Its not there.

Due to heavy overmining and shamless failures at concervation, the Worlds supplies of Retro are rapidly diminishing,

This Problem began in the late 1980's when Hollywood and other indusries begann mining the vast deposits of 1950's retro for feature films and other mass produced consumer products, the problem continued through the 90's when 1960's retro was heavily excavated by the New Hippies in their desperate bid to be hip.
In the late 90's The nations formerly untouched Reserves of 1970's Kitschy Retro were so heavily mined we are still feeling the reprucussions of its abuse.
Enviromental Retro conservation was a unheard of concept unitl recently when the problem reached its climax as the previously safe and maturing caches of 80's retro were tapped for toys and movies.

If this problem is not addressed soon we will have a crisis of catastrophic proportions as the World Grinds to a Halt upon the depletion of readily usable Retro, it is a proven fact that Man kind needs Retro and unfortunantly due to old contracts and poor mineral right distribution in the heyday of 15¢ a gallon Retro, the only decades we have access to are 1900's, the Teens, the 1920's and 30's, and the quickly diminishing suplies of 1950's through 1980's Retro as our 90's retro is not nearly mature enough to use. We are unable to access the tremendous Retro veins of the 40's as History channel owns exclusive rights to that decade and the Amish own the sole rights to all Retro from 1899 to the birth of Humanity.

We hereby propose that Retro be rationed so that there will be Retro for all upcomig generations, the Human body only requires a cup of Retro a year, however many persons readily overconsume Retro, many persons consume as much as 50 gallons of Precious Retro a year.
We also propose that All remaining caches of Retro be declared Precious Unreplenishable National Resources and the mining of these supplies be closely monitored by the UN as well as Local governments.
We further Propose that the still undiscovered maturing caches of retro be garuded so that they may mature and reach their full potency, And the remaining unearthed veins of Retro from Decades we have already tapped be allowed to heal so that we will always have those resources to draw on. (retro has been known to ocassionally replicate itself and replenish so long as a good supply of it remains unearthed)
And lastly we propose that the UN set up an applicable agency to manage and maintain our Dwindling supplies of Retro before they are all gone.

We thank you for taking the time to read this and Encourage All Un Delegates and Nations to vote in favor of this Resolution, May our Grandchildren know the joys of Wonder Bread®, Love Beads, Stretch Armstrong®, easy Bake ovens and Parachute Pants.

General Secretary of Infinite Loop and her Colonies,
Hikaru Motenai.

How is this a matter of international importance? Maybe I am mistaken, but each country has its own culture; thus, each country's "Retro" is entirely different. How can you regulate something so vastly different as our use of the past? While maybe Americans remember stretch armstrong and easy bake ovens, what about the other countries of the world? Your proposal is horrifically American-centric, not taking any other country or culture into consideration. Do you thus propose to force America's past onto all other cultures? They each have their own history of "Retro" that they can draw from, and most of theirs is centuries older than ours. I do not feel that the United Nations should involve itself in individual commercial affairs, but should instead allow each nation to decide how to regulate its "Retro."

Loop, you're a long-time poster, the Delegate of one of the 5 largest regions, and by some standards a known leader of NationStates. Would it kill you to run even well-written joke proposals through a spell-checker?

It's Conservancy, by the way.

My Regional and National Dialect should not be a factor you use to jusdge a Proposal by, that would be like saying you dont like an indivudual based on his accent.
I urge you to remember if we ever run out of Retro, we will die.
I have been to areas where Retro is in short supply and seen the children afflicted by Retro Defficiency Disease (RDD) it isnt a pretty picture, our current poster child is Carlton Banks from Beverly Hills,

he is the young man in the white sweater, his lack of Retro caused him to turn into the hollow shell of a man you see here.
Unfortunantly his cousin, pictured with him was unable to help him and he died shortly after this photo was taken.
Please think of the poor RDD victims out there.
