South Vietnam

Economy: Its economy, both in growth and overall freedom, continued to grow as the richest in Peninsular Southeast Asia followed by Thailand. Numerous national factories are build endlessly and it also allowed international conglomerations to open offices in the country. Its GDP right now is 65 Billion US Dollars.

Military: More military bases are build to prepare themselves for the eventual arrival of Vietnam conflict while planning a space program. The large-scaled South Vietnamese military had to split its military troops in two: Team Yellow will fight against its northern neighbor while Team Red will watch over the Kingdom of Laos. A number of spies are also aiding Cambodia against Khmer Rouge.

Diplomacy: President Nguyen is delighted to see how peaceful Israel has become now that Palestine is finally granted independence and befriends members of Arab League. South Vietnam also befriended South Africa's African National Congress and is currently devising a plan to support anticommunist revolutionary moments against dictatorships around the world.

Others: Nguyen continued promoting gender equality and heavily supported women's rights. Media and entertainment continued to flourish and Americans established two radio stations aimed at American audience in the country: one for general entertainment and the other for the military.

North Vietnam

Economy: While its economy growth flourished, it didn't do anything to the country as a whole so Ho Chi Minh established campaigns targeting poverty alleviation. Few private companies are established in the country but the government still holds total control over companies and investments. Its GDP is 45 Billion US Dollars.

Military: The military size is estimated to be 50,000; at least 3,000 of them are preparing to launch an invasion in Laos. Ho Chi Minh is currently negociating with USSR to devise a strategy plan in the form of Ho Chi Minh Trail but not without disagreements by some communist countries. The North Vietnamese government is also heavily supporting leftist movements around the world, including Portuguese colonies of Africa.

Diplomacy: Ho Chi Minh hold a roundtable meeting in Hanoi to meet socialist and other leftist organizations abroad. He also welcomed the presence of Kim Il-sung but did not convince him enough to come back in political power so it is best for Kim to let it go and had to instead work as a foreign bodyguard for him. North Korean ministers are also allowed to seek asylum in North Vietnam to establish companies aimed at Koreans living in the country.

Others: Vietnam News Agency, the government-owned agency, published a number of articles denouncing actions made by pro-US countries (including South Vietnam) and claimed that they continued to support anticommunist movements and governments. Newsreaders and anchors of Vietnam Television are also required to strongly project their voices in a emotional manner when on air.

Laos

Economy: The government did not try hard enough to maintain its economic balance nor reducing the humongous gap between good economic growth and low GDP (24 Billion US Dollar) so it required Japanese aid to help fix the issues and introduced small reforms in response.

Military: As a neutral country, the Kingdom prefered not to intervene in anything so the most it can do to protect its sovereignty from communist invasion is training and arming 8,000-member military troops which is not enough. It also ordered local advisors and officials to strengthen security and guardship against eventual invasion by North Vietnam so long as it happens.

Diplomacy: Laos maintained very strong relationship with its neighbors and is on very good terms with USA and Japan. It also signed new treaties guaranteeing safety in French Indochina as well special friendships with Japan and South Vietnam.

Others: Influenced by Nordic model, Laos continued to hold the title of being French Indochina's freest country as well one of the most democratic in Peninsular Southeast Asia alongside Burma. Its media is also extremely free as well, allowing journalists to publish articles exploring problems affecting the country in a thorough and investigative way. Numerous historical sites also applied entry in UNESCO.
