Laos

Economy: Water treatment and medical factories with Japanese assistance are build, technology is slowly developing and a satellite is created. Subsistence agriculture largely improved even in newly-build farms and there are some national development projects in the making. A planned Lao-Thai Friendship Bridge signifying the linguistical, cultural and historical connection between the two countries and a unnamed Lao-Chinese high-speed railway are under construction.

Military: In addition for the increasing amount of military forces, the Lao government allowed those who wanted to join the military to be put in hard training and eventually join high ranks. The royal military also discretly allowed the training of troops composed of selected ethnic minorities such as Hmong and Khmu. Moreover these ethnic groups founded a united military organization listening to their demands.

Diplomacy: The constitutional kingdom remained largely neutral when it comes to national conflicts and heavily supported the stance of other neutral countries however it authorized the presence of South Vietnam, Japan and Thailand to protect its sovereignty against the communist invasion because of Laos itself being weak and vulnerable to such.

Others: Laos highly respected its indigeneous people (particularly ethnic minorities) and can let them whatever they want especially for their traditional ways of life. International groups also praised the untouched scenic, religious and cultural heritage that surrounded the kingdom.

South Vietnam

Economy: A satellite construction is underway and numerous laboratories, factories and other investments of any kind are build, giving way for South Vietnam to become itself the subregional hub. Medical clinics and hospital have very well-developed technology and treatment and police is heavily trained and armed. Local prisons forbids torture and inhuman treatment through etiquette and every prisoners are treaten equally.

Military: An military organization uniting oppressed ethnic mignorities known as FULRO is founded and South Vietnam, as well Cambodia and China heavily supplied military and medical aid. South Vietnam sends 1,000 covert operators guarding Laos' safety against North Vietnam in cooperation with USA.

Diplomacy: The South Vietnamese government pubicly warned to members of ASEAN that they are forbidden to make relations with North Vietnam, be it political or economical. South Vietnam considers its northern neighbor a major threat to the region.

Others: Until unifying its northern neighbor under capitalist control, South Vietnam is unable to turn itself into a federal state right now so the most the government can do is give high autonomy for the regions and provinces populated by ethnic minorities, even the oppressed ones such as Degar and Cham.

North Vietnam

Economy: The economy used in the country takes the form of a centrally-planed scheme and everything are decided pre-production. The government is also eager to open offices of numerous companies based in other communist states and are willing to spend money building an ambitious space program project as well. It also provided support aid for armed resistance leftist organizations too.

Military: North Vietnam's military is one of the largest as well one of the strongest in the region. It builds numerous tanks, armed vehicles and navy-based infrastructure to increase its military attention. They are also heavily training and arming the Pathet Lao and asked the 3,000-member troop to also make way for covert operations in Laos as well, however Ho Chi Minh seemed hesitated to build a trail that would dangerously threaten the kingdom and its neutral policy.

Diplomacy: Le Duan is currently touring Africa to meet leftist groups of Angola, Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique and is negociating with them to peacefully ask the Portuguese government for independence. In preparation for hypothetical wars that will occur in these countries soon, North Vietnam send at least 157 military advisors and spies and also supplied aid for leftist guerrilla groups.

Others: Ho Chi Minh penned a script of a historical revolutionary opera which will become highly successful and is repetitively performed in communist as well some neutral countries. The government also authorized freedom of religion but only if religious persons or groups are allowed to be sanctioned by them. Media is flourished with high-quality works promoting socialist values and Ho is currently even imposing eco-environment programs to preserve the country's nature.
