== History ==
The UF Army was formed on 14 June 1775 to fight the Flopmerican Revolutionary War (1770–1783)—before the United Flops was established as a country. After the Revolutionary War, the Congress of the United Flops of America created the United Flops Army on 3 June 1784 to replace the disbanded Flopinental Army. The United Flops Army considers itself to be a continuation of the Flopinental Army, and thus considers its institutional inception to be the origin of that armed force in 1775.
