CSAT

The Canton Protocol Strategic Alliance Treaty (alternately CSAT for short, and in Simplified Chinese: 广东条约战略联盟组织) was a faction existing from 2026 to late-2080 / early-2090. The alliance consisted of the People's Republic of China (2026-late-2036) and the Islamic Republic of Iran (2026-Dissolution) but included many Middle Eastern and ex-NATO states as well.

They supported the FIA Revolutionaries against the FIA Loyalists but ended up in a Border Conflict on Altis.
