Democratization of Vietnam (The Pearl World)

The Democratization of Vietnam refers to the process in which Vietnam shifted from a single-party Marxist-Leninist State to a Unitary Republic. The Decision was made in response to protests and growing instability. Vietnam announced it would begin the process in 2032 with elections set for 2037. 
==Background==
==Criticism==
The Vietnamese Government's first election in 2037 was said to feature candidates that were approved by the state. Several candidates alleged that they were deliberately kept off the ballot. The Vietnamese Government initially denied this but it has since been revealed that the Communist Party deliberately chose the nominees in order to prevent "American subversion".
While Vietnam abandoned Communism, it has not released its political prisoners. The Nation claims these prisoners could cause interference from the Europeans and the Americans. In 2050, an agreement was reached in exchange for a promise not to vote in the 2052 election. Some did vote in this election and the violaters were subsequentialy arrested.
