My story on Laos will take a temporary break so now I'm going to focus only on divided Vietnam. Additionally my arc will be about Paracel-Spratly regional conflict and potential return of the Vietnam War between the two countries.

South Vietnam

Economy: At least 10 planned cities near the existing major ones are in construction. It is also applying for membership in DSE as well an oil-based international organization. 3 special economic zones are created in equally-numbered major cities and is currently conducting investments with China and Korea for that purpose. With the exception of rural areas populated by ethnic areas (both inhabited and uninhabited) and towns to a lesser extend, all of the cities in Vietnam are extremely well developed by regional standards and is even planning to make Hue a cultural tourist destination. Poverty is only 5% due to good governance and reformist policies.

Military: The military is currently supplying military aid to anticommunist soldiers in Rhodesian Bush War and is conducting mid-range missiles and low-intensity rockets in India against leftist insurgency. Giant robots and military air forces are also supplied in Central America as well in Colombia to combat leftist movements. Domestically, the military government is currently training 60,000 future soldiers to prepare themselves just in case North Vietnam will bring the war back, serving as a cataclysm over growing conflict in Spratly Islands that begins earlier than expected.

Diplomacy: The government established relations with Rhodesia despite being unrecognized and conducted economic trades by supplying support aid there. It is also retaining the reunification policy intact and obligated North Vietnam to stop conducting skirmishes against it.

Others: The technology rised to almost being futuristic in nature, making South Vietnam an utopian paradise compared to Singapore. Life expectancy is 87 and the population is growing even more than it was since its independence. The government takes its social reforms very seriously and is even granting free healthcare for its entire population in each city and town. Death penalty is abolished except in cases of war and judiciary is strong. National stability keep rising too.

North Vietnam

Economy: The government requested to join a powerful oil-based international government and begins conducting relative trade with friendly nations. In the meantime heavy industries grow and is exporting coal by 15%. It is also currently investing money and infrastructure both domestically and internationally.

Military: The government's military is considering the launch of high-range space rocket and is currently conducting more nuclear weapons tested underwater near Spratlys. Biological weapons based around animal tests are also conducted and can be used as a key to develop what could be the largest weapon of mass destruction in the region, merely in relations to the Paracel Islands-Spratly conflict. It is also supplying military aid in Eritrea and guerrilla units of Portuguese colonies in Africa and to an extended every other leftist fronts around the world.

Diplomacy: Ho Chi Minh befriended Isaias Afewerki in regards to the diplomatic relations between North Vietnam and Eritrean People's Liberation Front, planning to have a meeting each other in Asmara. It is also supporting socialist revolution in Zanzibar as well the presence of communist rebels in India and Central America. Ho Chi Minh also tell the guerrilla units in Portuguese colonies of Africa to conduct defensive attacks to plan an overthrow to the imperialist Portuguese government.

Others: The quality of life has largely improved for the North Vietnamese, education is of very high quality and literacy rate is excellent partially because Ho Chi Minh and his government cared about his people and limited liberalization in all developmental aspects of the country take place. LGBT is legalized and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity is discouraged. Unemployment is low and poverty is reduced to just below 15%.
