Vietnam

Economy: A dozen of Chinese-sponsored investments are introduced in the northern half of the country to increase the Confucian influence in Vietnam. More and more factories, educational institutions and non-profit organizations continued to be established to further promote the national image of being part of the Asian Tigers. Economy growth increased and debt is low. Inflation rate is also low and there are great efforts to reduce the corruption that plagued the northern half that is previously under communist rule.

Military: Seeing the death of the first anticommunist prime minister and the re-transition of Papua from a Commonwealth realm to a communist state, the Army of Vietnam announce the declaration of an all-out war against Soviet Union, bombarding all of its bases in the country while letting the construction units of China, Japan, Australia and Vietnam itself to build their own military bases in damaged Soviet areas instead, fully fortifying the whole country from anymore influence of Soviet Union and make Papua a neutral country, completely isolated from the rest of the world for these reasons. At least 1,000+ soldiers and air pilots continued to launch multiple strikes against the Soviet Union, while the navy sector, already strong as it is, continued to severely damage Soviet underwater bases. Inside Vietnam, the government ordered the complete nationwide territory and impose an isolation policy specifically prohibiting communist invasions from the country. Hanoi continued to supply military and support aid for other governments of the region against communist guerrillas while sending a number of military advisors to calm down the situation in Israel and publicly announced the implementation of a reconciliation policy between Israel and Palestine and continued to request the granting of Palestine's independence. At the end of the year where the new president of the country visited Libya alongside the presence of a mid-scale army, he tell King Idris to request the withdrawal of all pro-Soviet forces from the country.

Diplomacy: Vietnam continues to support Indonesia's occupation of East Timor and support its regional allies against communism. Due to the conflict in Papua, the government put Australia under pressure to make the whole region of Oceania neutral and specifically isolated from the rest of the world from communist rebellions (except Australia and New Zealand to an extent). At least 50 Vietnamese observers closely watch over how the conflict in Papua goes.

Others: Kim Dung Hom is elected as the new president who is more pro-US than Nguyen. He announced the implementation of non-interference policy in ASEAN and encouraged greater collective dialogue and actions to strengthen the relation between the member states. As a result, communist insurgency and influence slowly decreases and Vietnam is one of the few countries (together with Indonesia and Malaysia) to play a bigger stance in the country and is interested at further resolving conflicts in the Spratlys and Paracels.
