IGS, The Planetary Development Treaty

On IGS:

A change like this is likely to have several effects.

One of them is potential for more interdependence. Interdependence of planetary and space economies, but also of the capsuleer and non-capsuleer populations. Indirectly, such interdependence raises the stakes of a total war between the four nations.

Incidentally, the treaty also makes CONCORD more powerful, and more difficult to replace.
