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.

 

 

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.

In December of 2019 Icenia City, along with several other non-UDF territories, was obby bombed<ref>"Thank you to Everyone who Helped out in Icenia Yesterday" https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/e50tkd/thank_you_to_everyone_who_helped_icenia_out/ December 2, 2019</ref> by a rouge nation on the border of the HJE and SPQR called [[Ransakistani War|Ransakistan]]. The UDF played an instrumental role 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.

 

 

Despite the UDF's desire for neutrality and expansion after the War of the Coalition, it began participation 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.
