Faced with such an overpowered weapon, nations from around the world enact the “Alaska Treaty” where it states that IS shall never be used in military combat and that the existing IS technology should be equally distributed to all nations so as to prevent any one nation from dominating the others. Unfortunately for the men, only women can operate an IS which led to the shift of power balance where women now dominate the society.
