I should add that this is in fact the consensus position upon which the
society is run in Charlotte Perkins Gilman's _Herland_. The problem with
_Herland_ from my point of view is that it deals with a small homogenous
geographically isolated society with no contact at all with the outside
world, so that issues of conflict/cooperation between nations do not arise.
