Ho Chi Minh Cityball

Ho Chi Minh Cityball, also known as Saigonball is a cityball of Vietnamball. It is the biggest cityball of Vietnamball. Ho Chi Minh Cityball was named after Hồ Chí Minh. It was once known as Prey Nokorball and later as Saigonball. It borders Tây Ninhball and Bình Dươngball to the north, Đồng Naiball and Bà Rịa–Vũng Tàuball to the east, Long Anball to the west and the South China Sea to the south.
== Etymology ==
Ho Chi Minh Cityball is named after President Hồ Chí Minh.
An etymology of Sài Gòn is that Sài is a Sino-Vietnamese word meaning "firewood, lops, twigs; palisade", while Gòn is another Sino-Vietnamese word meaning "stick, pole, bole", and whose meaning evolved into "cotton" in Vietnamese (bông gòn, literally "cotton stick", i.e., "cotton plant", then shortened to gòn). This name may refer to the many kapok plants that the Khmer people had planted around Prey Nokor, and which can still be seen at Cây Mai temple and surrounding areas. Other proposed etymologies draw parallels from Tai-Ngon , the Cantonese name of Chợ Lớnball, which means "embankment" , and Vietnamese Sai Côn, a translation of the Khmer Prey Nokor. 
==History==
Ho Chi Minh Cityball began as a small fishing village founded by Khmer peoples. It was known as Prey Nokorball. Beginning in the early 17th century, Vietnamese settlers colonized it. In 1623, King Chey Chettha II of Cambodiaball (1618–28) allowed Vietnamese refugees fleeing the Trịnh–Nguyễn civil war in Vietnamball to settle in the area of Prey Nokor and to set up a custom house there. Increasing waves of Vietnamese settlers, which the Cambodian kingdom could not impede because it was weakened by war with Thailandball, slowly Vietnamising the area. Later the city is known as Saigonball
Conquered by Franceball and Spainball in 1859, the city was influenced by the French during their colonial occupation of Vietnamball, and a number of classical Western-style buildings and French villas in the city reflect this. Saigon had, in 1929, a population of 123,890, including 12,100 French.
Former Emperor Bảo Đại made Saigonball the capital of the State of Vietnamball in 1949 with himself as head of state. On 30 April 1975, Saigonball fell and the Vietnam War ended. It is nowadays known as Ho Chi Minh Cityball, the biggest city of Vietnamball.
It was the capital cityball of  South Vietnam.

===Neutral===
* Cam-pu-chia - Complicated. I was initially inhabited by its Khmer people and is in Phù Nam in ancient times. I welcomed these Kinh immigrants who fled from war between my parent's ancestors. Then Dainam adopted me after it suffered from divisions and fights. As of today, it still called me "Prey Nokor", so I suggested it to call me my new name because that old ancient one is very outdated and I don't remember it anymore.
===Enemies===
* Trung Quốc - NO, MY PARENT WON'T UNITE WITH YOU AFTER SUCH MESSY PROBLEMS. IN THE BEGINNING OF THE ANCIENT TIMES WHEN I WAS IN PHÙ NAM (FUNAN), I SAW YOU INVADED IT FOR NO REASON. I NEVER FORGIVE SINO-VIETNAMESE WAR IN 1979 WHEN THIS GENOCIDER HURTED CAM-PU-CHIA. ALSO, HOÀNG SA AND TRƯỜNG SA BELONGS TO MY PARENT, DÀ NẴNG AND KHÁNH HÒA. STOP HURTING MY TWO SIBLINGS YOU SON OF A EAST ASIA. And I won't have your factories because they polluted my nature, western industry is better than yours. Don't come back to my city AGRESSIVELY.
** Beijingball - A capital of China who slandered my parent with his enemy lists. I don't know why my north sibling was currently in cooperation with it despite their (bad) relationship.
* South Vietnamball - Sorry, I changed my mind after you applied a new law that Christians are superior than the others and suddenly suppressing Buddhist monks. I now have better life with my current parent unlike you. For Little Saigon, YOU ARE OF A FAKER FILLED WITH PEOPLE WITH PTSD OF LOSING A WAR. STOP CYBERBULLYING PEOPLE WHO ARE COMMUNISTS AND NON-COMMUNISTS ONLINE.

== How to draw ==
Drawing Ho Chi Minh Cityball is quite moderate, which lies between easy and difficult:
#Draw a white ball and a red ring on the outside
#Draw a red Dragon Wharf in 3 red Yellowmai petals with a yellow border, in the middle
#Draw the Vietnamball's flag on the right
#Write Sài Gòn  TP. Hồ Chí Minh in red color under the flower
#Add eyes and you're done.
