Laos

Economy: With the economy growth on the rise, the government is determined to make its labor unions act as the economic protectors. Although the economic infrastructure is still poor in comparison to its neighbors, Laos is willing to invest some more foreign aid per capita from USA and then spend to donate to its population in support with the government.

Military: The Royal Lao Army send 1,000 soldiers to fight the Pathet Lao. Additionally ELOL also participated in the skirmish and there are CIA covert operations conducted everywhere to prevent further political instability in the Kingdom. Underground detection devices and alternative non-violent weapons against Ho Chi Minh Trail is fully working at a advanced pace, a sign that the Laotian Civil War will eventually end for once and for all.

Diplomacy: Prime Minister Souvanna Phouma is shocked to see how the insurgency in South Thailand is going so now he urged his military to investigate it. Furthermore selected national parliamentarians are also negociating with Burma in regards to political future and maintaining stability.

Others: Since nearly half of the population is illiterate, the government under Japanese assistance developed literacy campaigns targeting the rural poors and encourage them to go to school. Educational institutions targeting ethnic minorities also published school texts written in languages for each ethnic minority; Lao language studying is necessary but optional. There is also an advantage regarding to judicial reforms and crime rate is low, however human trafficking and drug trafficking are problems that the Lao government had to deal with.

South Vietnam

Economy: Many countries around the world continued to praise how well the economy in Laos is doing. Additionally they are exporting seafood, rice and other local products to its neighbors in the process of negociating North Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh about potential national unification.

In the meantime, select armed troops are also send in the Middle East and South Thailand and side with US and its allies. The Yellow Team meanwhile is finally entering Hanoi in the process of negociation meeting with Ho Chi Minh about peaceful reunification.

An increasing number of the population is having access to electronic media such as television and there are plans for the government to host cultural events themed after cinema and comics.

North Vietnam

Economy: The economy is slowly losing control and now the North Vietnamese

Military: The military units installed their first ever-interregional nuke after months of production; its goal is to bomb Laos once they occuped parts of it, however a large dispute occurred over how to implement as some government officials said it will severely undermine Laos' neutrality and national security. Even the building of Ho Chi Minh Trail (known locally as Annamese Trail) is subject to controversy, as one of Ho Chi Minh's ministers simply doesn't care and just wanted Laos to be invaded by his army. Nevertheless Ho Chi Minh himself has devised a plan to have Pathet Lao and the few remaining members of the 5,000 troops (seeing most of them died during the way) to infiltrate the kingdom. According to Ho the HCM Trail will act as a system providing logistical support to supply Viet Cong and People's Army of Vietnam.

Diplomacy: Le Duan is impressed by the 157-member spying group conducting actions against the Portuguese government in its overseas provinces of Africa so now it encouraged the liberation fronts of Angola, Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique to peacefully declare independence from Portugal however fearful tensions ensued as Prime Minister Antonio de Oliveira Salazar doesn't want it as it wanted to preserve its national sovereignty and overseas provinces of being an multi-ethnic state. This indirectly triggered the start of Portuguese Colonial War in Africa.

Others: Ho Chi Minh enjoyed an immense cult of personality among the general populace even though some doesn't believe the deceptive message the government is surrounded by, causing few of them to be imprisoned as political dissidents even if it means to give reforms whilst keeping the communist system of government in line. The government also issued posters and campaigns in every municipalities across the country to promote a positive image of the country contrary to what's actually happening right now.
