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>

''Main Article: [[Chic-Fil-A Crisis]]''
In August 2019, players Figasaur and Zoltan1770 ("cr0codile") built a Chick Fil-A in Icenia City, overlapping the skybunker hole in the city center. When Figasaur and Zoltan were ordered to demolish the chicken franchise<ref>"Icenia V. Figasaur". August 18, 2019 https://pastebin.com/RMUJQe05</ref>, members of the newly-formed [[LSD]] alliance descended on Icenia City to protest its removal, iron-reinforcing the structure and patrolling the city in military kit. Threats by LSD members 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 an LSD attack (which never came), so it could mount a defense if necessary and garner international support. ▼

Eventually, after they lost international allies, the Jewish Quarter was removed by [[ChrisChrispie|President ChrisChrispie]], among others, and Figasaur and Cr0codile became internationally wanted criminals.
'''[[Mount September Ice Road Conflict|Augustan Federation Iceroad Dispute]]'''▼
====== Augustan Federation Iceroad Dispute ======
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 Article: [[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.

''Main Article: [[War of The Coalition]]''
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.
