National Treasure of Namor (Namorese: Намора Гукпо tr. Namora Gukpo) is a title conferred upon any tangible artifact or building that is considered to be invaluable to the culture, history, and prestige of the Namorese people. The list of National Treasures is regulated by the Namorese Ministry of Culture.
The title of National Treasure was created by the 1951 National Treasures Protection Act, which was enacted to prevent the further erosion and destruction of historical artifacts and buildings that were targets of attacks during the Green Fever. Under the NPTA, objects designated as National Treasures are fully protected by the Namorese government. Any damage done to a National Treasure, however insignificant, is deemed a felony and punishable by up to five years in prison. The NPTA also authorizes the government to store National Treasures in the National Museum of Namor or National Library of Namor if they cannot be protected in their original locations.
