amity
Warmth between nations
Amity is friendly relations between people or groups, especially nations.
The word suggests peaceful coexistence and goodwill rather than deep affection: The two countries signed a treaty of amity and cooperation.
Amity is formal and somewhat literary—you're more likely to encounter it in diplomatic contexts than everyday speech.
