1. Origins of Retro Culture in Reltronland

Liberation Era
After winning the war against Depcutland, Reltronland entered an intense reconstruction phase. Technology and infrastructure were still at a late-industrial age level (1940–1970 retro equivalent).

Collective Atmosphere
National pride manifested in:

• Wool suits, fedoras, long dresses, A-line skirts.
• Jazz big-band, swing, early rock ‘n’ roll.
• Art deco & early modernist architecture.

Retro became the visual identity of the nation’s “Early Golden Age.”
