A protest outside the Hjaltland Industries shop in Mount Augusta during the SATO-FRIENDS Cold War.

FRIENDS was an alliance on CivClassic consisting of the Holy Jaded Empire, Columbia, Rhodesia, and Vitelia, among others focused on mutual defense. Created following the failure of the Western Cooperative Organization, the alliance mainly acted in opposition to SATO throughout the later half of 2018, creating a cold war-like environment throughout the server. Their competition came about due to alt-raider accusations and continued tensions with Yoahtl.

The alliance came into frequent conflict with SATO on numerous occasions. Throughout the latter months of 2018, SATO and FRIENDS engaged in soft-power warfare over nearby Mount Augusta, following raids from FRIENDS-affiliated fighters. A planned raid on Vitelia’s vault in early 2019 forced the country to abandon the stronghold, with Mir and SATO forces taking the vault days later. A vault hole dug by Southshire was also griefed by Rhodesian raiders, resulting in international backlash and a resulting pearling of Capri. Following this incident, most FRIENDS countries pivoted to create the NATO alliance, lasting through the Infinity War. (Full article...)
