The '''United Defensive Front''' ("'''UDF"''') iswas an alliance on [[CivClassic]] between [[Icenia]], [[Yoahtl]], [[Columbia]], [[Imperial Truidence]], [[SPQR (CivClassic)|SPQRSouthshire]], and [[SouthshireAcadia]]. The UDFIt was founded in the wake of the collapse of the First [[United Northern Congress (New)|UNC]] on July 16th, 2019, and is built on the five pillars of self determination, neutrality, free trade, mutual defense, and shared infrastructure. It was formed in the wake of the collapse of the [[UNC]], when newly unaligned nations friendly with Icenia sought to form an alliance for the purpose of mutual defense.
 
The name United Defensive Front and much of theits original charter were proposed by [[ChrisChrispie]] and [[Truck_Man1234]], and much of the original charter was written by Icenians. After the addition of Columbia in fall 2019, the charter was revised heavily revised, with definitions added for the eventual addition of associate members, and changing the way directives are approved within the alliance.<ref>UDF Charter https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sAPPWpUu3K33GYXpPKuLc8WvxjAbFI2O/view</ref>
 
In March of 2020, original member [[Bloom]] left the UDF due to war exhaustionweariness and Columbian distrust of their commitment to the UDF's war effort against [[NATO]]. and soonSoon after, [[Southshire]] joined.<ref name="SouthshireUDF">Southshire joins UDF : [https://gazette.now.sh/2020-03-16/southshire-joins-udf-influenced-by-yoahtl-admission/] : Grabbed on 20 March 2020</ref> After the warconclusion of the [[NATO-Mir War|Infinity War]], [[SPQR (CivClassic)|SPQR]] would vote to join the alliance. In February 2021, Southshire was transitioned to an associate member as its activity waned.
 
On August 14, 2021, [[Acadia]] was admitted to the UDF as an associate member. Shortly after, SPQR left the UDF in October 2021 when it voted to be annexed by [[Varkonia]] as a member state.

== Positions and Structure ==
 
=== Security Council ===
The UDF Security Council (colloquially the "Synergy Council") iswas the alliance's highest deliberative body. It iswas composed of the heads of state of each full member nation, as well as no more than two appointed representatives from each full member nation. Additionally, the Alliance Spokesperson and the Strategic Commander retainretained permanent seats on the Security Council. In early 2021, at the direction of Spokesperson [[Enforcer15]], the Security Council adopted the six-sigma process improvement principles. Each Security Council member endeavorsendeavored to embody at least one of the six sigmas: teamwork, insight, brutality, male enhancement, handshakefulness, and play hard) in order to synergizeachieve the UDF's dynamic benchmarksand ever-evolving key performance initiatives.
 
=== Spokesperson ===
The Spokesperson iswas tasked with representing the UDF’s interests to nations outside the alliance, as well as facilitating clear internal communicationscommunication between member states. They arewere elected by the member heads of state, and serveserved until resignation or impeachment. Enforcer15 (Enforcer#77775810) iswas the currentlast and longest-serving spokesperson, having bravely served for over a year and a half following turmoil during the tenures of both prior spokespeople.

==== IncidentsHostile Intentions 70 ====
In July 2019, latent distrust between [[Varkonia]] and UDF member states Bloom and Icenia led to an incident where the UDF incorrectly accused the [[Entente]] and [[Mir]] of intending to alt-raid and eventually attack the UDF. This accusation was based on fake screenshots, which were collated and posted to the /r/Civclassics subreddit under the title "Hostile Intentions 70". After the screenshots were exposed as fake, then-spokesperson V3ndetta formally apologized to Mir & [[Varkonia]] and tensions were defused.<ref>"The UDF Formally Apologizes" https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/cew5zs/the_udf_formally_apologises/</ref>
 
==== TheLSD EntenteTensions and Removal of the JQ ====
{{Main|Chic-Fil-A Crisis}}
 
{{POV|date=Jan 26, 2023|talk=Factual accuracy in Chic-Fil-A crisis, re: LSD}}
Drama from [[Varkonia|Varkonia's]] previous relations with Icenia and Bloom led to an incident where the newly-founded UDF wrongly accused the [[Entente]] and [[Mir]] of wanting to alt raid and eventually attack the UDF. This accusation was based on fake screenshots. Since this, nations within the UDF has improved its intelligence agencies and capacity drastically.
 
In August 2019, players Figasaur and Cr0codile, formerly a part of the "The Jewish Quarter" in [[Mount Augusta (CivClassic)|Mount Augusta]] built a Chick Fil-A in Icenia City, overlapping a skybunker hole in the city center. When Figasaur and Cr0codile were ordered to demolish the chicken franchise<ref>"Icenia V. Figasaur". August 18, 2019 https://pastebin.com/RMUJQe05</ref>, sympathetic players from the [[LSD]], among others who disliked Icenia, descended on Icenia City to protest the Chic-Fil-A's removal, iron-reinforcing the structure and patrolling the city in military kit. Threats by the JQ and others to [[Jargon#Obbybomb|Obbybomb]], coup, and raid Icenia and associated UDF countries prompted the UDF to initiate round-the-clock defensive patrols. The UDF decided to maintain its defensive readiness for a large-scale attack, so it could mount a defense if necessary and garner international support. However, an LSD attack never came.
'''The LSD'''
 
Eventually, after they lost international allies, the Jewish Quarter was removed by President [[ChrisChrispie]], among others, and Figasaur and Cr0codile became internationally wanted criminals.
A "Chick Fil-A" was built in Icenia, which was illegally too close to defensive infrastructure. It was constructed by a player named Figasaur was ordered to be torn down by Icenia government. The [[LSD]], a new military alliance, was formed around the same time as this, and was briefly roped into this drama due to having some members involved. Threats to [[Jargon#Obbybomb|Obbybomb]], coup, and raid Icenia and associated UDF countries prompted the UDF to ramp up their defense. The UDF strategically decided to wait for an LSD attack (which was not coming) so it could mount a successful counter offensive and gain more international support.
 
==== Augustan Federation Iceroad Dispute ====
However, the [[Entente]] and [[SATO]] military powers had disabled much of the LSD's military capability before the UDF could have done so, leading to the [[Entente-Laconia War]]. In the end, the UDF ended up doing nothing as the Entente was getting threats for defending Imperial Truidence in a petty dispute with a former citizen, leading to the swift attack.
{{Main|Mount September Ice Road Conflict}}
 
In August 2021, tensions rose between the UDF and the [[Augustan Federation]] over the status of a UDF iceroad passing under the unfinished AF vault and the city of [[Mount September|Mt. September]]. The iceroad was constructed during the 2019 [[War of The Coalition|War of the Coalition]] by Yoahtlan and Icenian personnel, and integrated into the UDF's 3-wide, fully obsidian ice road highway network, which spanned nearly the entire north-south distance of the map between Columbia and Yoahtl. Members of Mt. September discovered the iceroad during construction of the AF vault and associated bunkers, and sought its removal on the grounds that it did not have a right to pass under MtS claims. In response, bgbba, ChrisChrispie and WackyAki assembled a team of UDF members to reinforce the ice road, culminating in a standoff between UDF forces and AF member NebulaSSR<ref>BGPost RE: AF-UDF Ice Road Standoff https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/pccma8/get_off_my_lawn_zoomer_an_explanation_of/ August 26, 2021</ref>. The incident concluded with the removal and rerouting of the iceroad under the AF Vault, AF snitching of the portion of iceroad the extended under Mt. September, and later minemaster933 obby-bombing portions of the iceroad on his own ideological grounds.

==== Dummonia Land Dispute and Snitch Grid Exposure ====
 
{{Main|War in Dumnonia}}
 
In October 2021, a land dispute between Yoahtl and former Yoahtlan [[okx]] over territory in Wayrest swamp in the near (-,+) culminated in small-scale fighting between okx, the sole member of the breakaway nation "Dummonia", and various UDF conscripts forced to fight in the swamps by GDAN12. Multiple UDF conscripts were pearled over the multi-day skirmishes<ref>"Dummonia Defends its Territory" https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/q2waqj/dumnonia_defends_its_territory/ October 6, 2021</ref>, including the unprecedented three-time pearling of GDAN12 over a two day period. Spokesperson Enforcer15 attempted back-room negotiations between okx and the Yoahtlan government, but a peace deal was never reached. Eventually, okx was apprehended, at which point he released a dump of UDF snitch locations, which he had cached from his time as a UDF Security Council member<ref>"UDF Snitches" https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/qa52e4/udf_snitches/ October 17, 2021</ref>. These snitches were visualized by HuM4nB31nG, and revealed that the UDF had done no "illegal snitching" outside its own borders<ref>"Images of UDF Snitch Network" https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/qafogc/images_of_udf_snitch_network_download_in_comments/ October 18, 2021</ref>. While an information security blunder, the revelation of snitch locations did not affect UDF security policy as redundant snitches were added immediately following the release. Following this betrayal of trust, okx was sentenced to one year of pearl imprisonment by Yoahtl<ref>"The Sentencing of Okx" https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/r8wgqe/the_sentencing_of_okx/ December 4, 2021</ref> . He was released by CivClassic administration during the closure of CivClassic, as administration granted pearl amnesty to previously-imprisoned players to explore the map in the leadup to the server's closure.

=== War of the Coalition ===
 
In December of 2019 Icenia City, along with several other non-UDF territories, was obby bombed by rouge nation located on the border of the HJE and SPQR called [[Ransakistani War|Ransakistan]]. The UDF during this time played an instrumental roll in the coalition that formed in the immediate aftermath of the bombings, with Icenia becoming a major base of operations for retaking the [[Battle of Lusitania|Lusitan Line]]. Although the UDF lost one pearl in combat (ChrisChrispie), the Coalition still managed to totally disable the Ransakistani Vault within two weeks of its discovery. ▼

=== Entry into the Infinity War ===
 
Despite the UDF's desire for neutrality and expansion after the War of the Coalition, it began participating in the Infinity War after the discovery that NATO welcomed many escaped Ransakistani obby bombers back into their ranks rather than turning over their pearls. As a direct result of this, member states of the UDF, most notably Columbia, independently sent manpower to the Pinkerton Vault Break. After NATO discovered this, the UDF voted to officially enter into the [[Infinity War]] and proceeded to participate in the conquest of [[Corvus]] later in February alongside Entente and [[Mir]]. Susbequently the UDF settled into a long siege defense in the Columbian city of Valyria where NATO forces attempted to break Columbia's vault, The Crucible. During this siege, the cities of Rotterdam, Polska, and Valyria were heavily damaged and the region became a wasteland. NATO forces occupied Polska until a skybridge was built into the territory and traps were disabled. In the summer of 2020, the UDF accounted for a plurality of the manpower at the breaking of Hallow's vault alongside Mirian, Entente, and SATO forces. The UDF would ultimately see the war to its bitter end when, almost exactly one year after its founding, it cooperated in the break of Best Western, Vault 76, "Litterbox Vault" over a 36-hour period, thus ending the war. ▼
