from 1979 onward the current retirement system took effect iirc

pretty much a country request a name because that storm was bad for the country and it would be insensitive to keep that name on the list, shall a storm of that same name strike that same area again, which is why not all 1 billion+ storms are retired

retirement dosent need to be conservitive if the name retirements has to do with the storms impression on that country A handful of winning seasons does not make a sports team elite. In the same way, a country that got a few billion in damage and a few deaths doesn’t make it that bad. In my opinion it should be reserved for storms that are REALLY bad for a country.
