Vietnam

Vietnam is a region in Southeast Asia and located on the Indochina Peninsula. Since the later half of the 1940's, Vietnam has been divided into two sovereign states: North Vietnam (officially the Democratic Republic of Vietnam; DRV) and South Vietnam (officially the Republic of Vietnam; ROV). Vietnam consists of mainland North and South Vietnam, as well as a few minor islands which lie near Vietnam. North Vietnam and South Vietnam, once separated by the 17th parallel, are currently separated via the Vietnamese Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). North Vietnam is bordered by the Nanyang Union to the north and South Vietnam by the south. South Vietnam is bordered by [[Annam to the east.
