The IEEE World War was an open conflict between the two Robot organizations, the IEEE, with headquarters situated in North Dakota lead by Thomas Edison, Viceroy John Travolta and the AAAAA, a mysterious organization of unknown origin that hired robot Wombats to perform combats. The war was declared by both sides simultaneously at 9th of July 1907 and was effectively terminated by the complete annihilation of the IEEE by Cwombat forces during their raid on Winnipeg, Canada at 1st of April 1910. Victor Qi, the former head of the IEEE, was spared to become the AAAAA's chief weapons engineer.
