Belligerents:

 * The United American Federation (UAF)
 * Republican Army of Paradise (RAP)
 * Paradiser Unionist Army (PUA)
 * First German Volunteers (GGR or Reich)

Prelude to War:
The primary two political parties in the Paradise Parliament were the Paradise Republicans and the Unionist Party. On 1 June 2179 48 top Unionist Party leaders signed a declaration stating the most previous election, in which their party had lost two thirds of their parliamentary seats, to be null and void due to substantial evidence of election tampering. In response the Paradise Republicans passed a resolution in the Parliament condemning the declaration as anti-democratic. This was on the heals of the most contentious election in decades. Riots had been taking place in major cities across the planet since 4 April 2179 however the passing of the resolution seemed to worsen matters considerably. On 11 June 2179 Paradise Parliament Majority Leader Osian Kitto but out a formal request to the UAF Embassy for peacekeeping assistance. On 15 June 2179 the UAF 1st Shock Division arrived in the capital. over the next few months the 1st Shock coordinated with RAP forces to disperse protests and eliminate leading agitators. On 30 August 2179 a UAF soldier shot and killed a Paradiser child who had been brought to a protest. In the resulting incident 32 Protesters were killed along with 4 police officers and 2 UAF soldiers, including the soldier who fired at the child. After this on 1 September 2179 The Unionist Party declared its independence from the Paradise Republic and it announced its intentions to seek out vassalage in The Fourth German Reich. The newly formed Union of Paradise declared war on both the UAF and Paradise Republic.
