According to the editors on Wikipedia and possibly some historians whose work were used as reference points in Wiki articles, the wars refer to the War of the 3rd Coalition onwards. This is because Napoleon had first led France as emperor from this war onwards.
On this basis, the HRE would only be valid for the 3rd Coalition as it disbanded soon after into the French client states under the Confederation of the Rhine, Prussia and Austria.
Anyways, most sides had technically valid reasons for fighting. The balance of power theory, the Anglo-French rivalry and so on.

Napoleon was a general from 1792 to 1804 so I see why it's not called the Napoleonic wars. If you know EPIC history TV it talks about all of Napoleon's wars, blunders, victorys and etc. I recommend watching it. |

I'd say that I would throw my weight behind the Kingdom of France.
It's cause is the one I'm most sympathetic to. It was facing a major domestic crisis as well as simultaneous invasions by foreign powers into its homeland in attempts to intervene in French politics.
I guess the Ottoman Empire may come in as 2nd place seeing as how it was manipulated by Great Power politics in a sense.

The King LouisXVI is quite bad but i don't want to get rid of Kings. Also the revolution just ends up with something worse then a king, a Emperor. (Offtopic) (your in my mod!) |

My friend, if you find errors or have complaints with your Wikipedia - correct it. It's easy and this is how Wikipedia works. Wikipedia and archive are the only two remains of the groundbreaking democratic European Invention: The world-wide-web. The rest became horribly overcommercialized (Thank you US-companies π ) with all the results. Check the different languages! The Spanish Wikipedia became lately very good and detailed. For history themes the English Wikipedia is often unscientific, I see your point, but if any videoproduction can have this quality standards? - I haven't seen one ever! |

Anyway this is the Napoleonic wars so which nation would you fight for? |

Probably the Russian empire. I win because it's cold, and we don't have to worry about anything until world war one.

Sorry Nobunaga Oda, I got carrier away by August question. Anyway, it's weird how some of Napoleon's Marshels who became Kinga betrayed him. Like Bernadotte or at the beginning Murrat. All of them switched sides just to hold their Thorne. |
