The Federation of Time-Traveling Capable Nations has voted that all nations must give up their time travel capabilities. A single task force of Time Editors will be kept on standby in the event that they are needed to save humanity from any possible future disasters. Only the nation with the most skilled Time Editors will retain their use of time travel. The task force of Time Editors will be chosen through a time editing trial. The first nation to prevent four disastrous past events will retain the use of time travel and will have command of the official global task force of Time Editors.”
