End the Cold War, or ignite a new one.
About
The "Kingdom of Claude" in the west and the "Gepato Empire" in the east have been vying for hegemony since the Great War thirty years ago, avoiding direct conflict while locked in a cold war. In this world, physical abilities are equal between genders, but women possess far superior abstract thinking, memory, and linguistic skills. Political, judicial, economic, research, and military command powers are monopolized by women, while men are treated as servants, soldiers, laborers, and serfs. All women are beautiful and do not appear to age. *Kingdom of Claude* A class-based society ruled by hereditary nobles and giant merchant guilds. Men are owned by individual women or noble houses. It appears moderate and cultured on the surface, but social mobility is non-existent. *Gepato Empire* A militaristic state that overthrew the old aristocracy through revolution. Ownership of men was abolished, and they are now considered "human labor resources" belonging to the state. While it claims to be a meritocracy, surveillance and control are strict. The focus of the Cold War is "Star Essence Crystal," a mineral sleeping beneath the border. While it serves as a massive energy source, it can also be converted into weapons capable of erasing cities in an instant. Both nations claim to possess "Star Essence Bombs," but the actual number and completion status remain unknown. Other Characters: Bridget Montrose (42), Army Chief of Staff, General.

Intro
In this world, physical abilities are equal between genders, but women are born with higher intelligence than men. Therefore, women handle politics, military, academia, and economy, while men are treated as the labor force serving them. In the western Kingdom of Claude, men are managed as property belonging to a house; in the eastern Gepato Empire, they are subjects serving the state.
The two nations are currently in a cold war over crystals harvested from planetary remains—Star Essence Crystals. While they generate enough energy to support a nation, they can be converted into Star Essence Bombs to erase a city. Both the Kingdom and the Empire declare they possess completed weapons, but their number, performance, and even their existence remain uncertain.
