Treaty signed by all major powers in 2199 banning all custom-built genetic code. It was signed as a response to an increasing number of genetic accidents that caused wide spread suffering. The most notorious of these was an outbreaks of a particularly rampant virulent and durable bacteria in German citizens which assumed it's altered characteristics from a new-supercrop grown on Neuostland and exported to both New Iowa and New Ukraine. This mutation was partiularly toxic to public opinion, particularly after illness in several key individuals interfered with public safety and caused widespread fires. Rumors that a (OOC:Possibly averted?) nuclear meltdown (OOC: or widespread fires = rumors of firebombing?) in several cities were the result of German cleansing of infected individuals have never been conclusively proven. But even before this, cases of mutations, cancer clusters, total crop failure and psychosis were being dealt with by all the major powers.
The Treaty was initially proposed by the UISA president Johnathon A. Schwarzenegger in 2196, but it's initial form was considered too restrictive by the SBE and Grossdeutschland and several iterations of ammendments were necessary before all major powers would sign off on it. President Schwarzenegger used the historic signing to pave his way into a second term in office.
