On the Artwork of Defunct Nations
A resolution to express a position on international affairs and obligations.
Category: Declaration
Type: Declare
Proposed By: Drew Durrnil
The World Assembly;
Awed by the vast collections of artwork across the multiverse, as well as the cultural or economic impact they may have on a nation;
Understanding that unique artwork of all existing nations continues to be produced, traded, and destroyed at a high rate, resulting in an international artwork market that brings together collectors of all ideologies;
Noting the undersupply of artworks attributed to nations that no longer exist, which are scarcely seen on the market as the find rate of such items reduces significantly upon those nations disappearing;
Especially frustrated by artwork credited to legendary nations who cease to exist, making these already valuable works even more inaccessible to the majority of gallery curators;
Exasperated by the fact that some of these artworks have sold for extremely high prices, often meaning that only the wealthiest artwork collectors can afford to buy these artworks when an auction does occur;
Lamenting unfortunate situations where no works of a nation are found in any national galleries despite the nation having known art credited to it, making the completion of some collections impossible unless a highly improbable find occurs;
Fearing that the rarity of these artworks and the price that they are sold at can easily discourage artwork collectors;
Believing that all nations should be given a fair chance to build their collections, especially since doing so encourages cultural exchange, collaboration opportunities, and trade across the multiverse;
Hereby:
• Declares artworks of defunct nations to be among the rarest artworks in NationStates;
• Encourages those who own or discover such items to either proudly display or sell them to collectors; and
• Officially discourages hoarding, destruction, or inflation of artworks credited to defunct nations.
