What about the Ferengi?

them and the tholians are the one's i WANTED to see
Bajor, the Bajorans did by means of a treaty.
Iirc, the comics actually did have the Gorn joining the Federation's alliance.
(insert non canon post here)
Well, a canon list of participants is ridiculously easy.
Dominion, Cardassia, Son'a and Breen versus the Federation, Bajor, Klingons, and Romulans. No other belligerents were ever explicitly mentioned whatsoever, and implied participation is limited to the bare possibility that the Ferengi Alliance entered the war about as it ended.
Since the thread is thus probably pretty speculative anyway, I think the having Gorn actually show up on the Fed side in DS9 would've been pretty cool.

The Miradon were mentioned as signing a non-aggression pact with the Dominion. We never saw the Tamarians, Talarians, Borg, no one from the Delta Quadrant or any non-corporeal entities apart from the Prophets (Q, Calamarians, various scary TOS clouds), it is questionable that any of the TOS species turned up though a lot of TOS aliens looked exactly like humans so they might have.
As for the Federation we know humans, Vulcans, Trill, Betazoids, Ferengi took part. We don't know if there are species in the Federation that might have refused to take part in the fighting for cultural, moral or ethical reasons, species in the mould of the Mizarians.

That makes sense. There's never any mention of Andorians or Tellarites taking part, though I would assume they did.
Unless I missed something, the Son'a were unaligned. Riker's description painted them more like a criminal syndicate rather than a warring race. I doubt the Son'a even had the population to go to war, given their origin.
They were manufacturing white, but for whom is debatable. They could be selling it as a black market drug for all we know.
^Yep. I almost forgot, and in the original post didn't even include them.
Fwiw, I did forget to include the wormhole aliens, but they're kind of a special case anyhow.
It'd be interesting to know if an avowed refusal to support the Starfleet military machine in wartime (economically, that is--noncompliance with a draft is as far as I can tell a non-issue for want of a draft) would preclude Fed membership.

Imagine having a squad of Gorn warriors against a squad of Jem'Hadar
If they are anything like in TOS a squad of Gorn vs a girl scout would be an unfair fight let alone against the Jem'Hadar who can move above crawling speed.
Depends which Gorn we're talking about about. Awesome TOS Gorn, or lame looking CGI Enterprise Gorn.

Actually, there's a quote from Odo, where he says something about the Dominion making impressive in-roads in the Alpha Quadrant. I'm pretty sure he lists the Tholians but I don't think it explicitly states that they side with the Dominion. It seems more like a non-aggression pact if I'm remembering the phrasing properly.
