After pulling out of their application to join the UNC, Icenia opted to attempt to join [[SATO]] due to mutual connections to many of the alliances previous leadership being associated with nations that ChrisChrispie had connections with in Civcraft 2.0, notably [[Bgbba]] through Chanada, who was now leading [[Yoahtl]]. SATO was also the only alliance outside of the UNC that was relatively stable in the world at the time as [[NATO]] was engaged in an ongoing and stalled war with Mir, and joining the [[NCA]] was out of question. SATO was hesitant to let Icenia fully on board given the nations reputation for being rowdy in server politics and the fact that Figasaur and Cr0codile, members of the JQ, had moved to Icenia and were accepted there as major members of Icenian society. However, despite these reservations, SATO voted to bring Icenia on as an associate member believing that if the JQ was to be contained, it was best contained in an area such as Icenia.

Relations with SATO while in the alliance were lukewarm, while SATO hesitantly supported Icenia during the [[Mount Augusta]] extradition crisis, relations began to become frayed as Icenia and [[Bloom]] continued petty spats over Fig and Croc's willingness to stir the pot in the region and throw accusations of anti-antisemitism at other leaders. This came to a head after the first Icenian ministerial debate in late May, 2019 when then candidate Fig accused specificlanguage (managing Mount Augustan voter registration) of various allegations in regards to Fig's time in the Mount Augustan JQ. It was at this time that a mutual agreement was made between Icenia and members of SATO that the alliance was simply not going to work. Since then relations have only continued to get worse, with SATO nation [[Caledonia]], a major trading partner with Icenia, elected to annex the [[Brotherhood of Steel]] after consistent threats made by its leader YourAverageRick directed at citizens of the Icenia, the loss of Icenian pearls in [[Hjaltland]]'s vault resulting in a resuming of alt-raiding in the city. Despite all of this, Icenia remains close with several SATO nations including [[Vinland]] and [[The Commonwealth]].

Today Icenia is on very good terms with SATO as the majority of SATO nations are now in the UDF.
