## History

The history of Vietnam can be split into 2 periods. They are, the First and the Second Vietnamese Empires respectively, in chronological order.

### The First Vietnamese Empire

(28/01/2022 - 29/02/2022)

The **First Vietnamese Empire** was the Vietnam under the rule of Emperor Keplr\_. The prime minister was YouLookTasty. During their rule, the nation flourished and became one of the biggest trading hubs in all of NewEarth.

#### Creation as the Republic of Vietnam

The capital city of Hanoi was founded on 29/01/2022. The city quickly gained a decent populace and the nation was made a few hours later. Eventually, many towns would be founded in Vietnam. However, Vietnam also had various cities outside it's own intended sphere of influence. This had forced Vietnam to adapt and reform.

#### Reformation into the Empire of Vietnam

The Republic of Vietnam, headed by Prime Minister YouLookTasty, would by accompanied with other republics (groups of towns that were to soon form independent nations) to form the greater Vietnamese Empire. The Republic of Malaysia, Republic of Singapore, Republic of Pacifica, Republic of Bali and finally the Kongsi Republic of Lanfang (which would soon merge into the Republic of Vietnam) all came together to form this collective union of autonomous states, headed by Emperor Keplr. The Imperial Commissioner, Unhappydog9, was the manager of plots and adviser to the Emperor.

The nation would soon frequent the Top 10 nation lists and become the third largest nation in Asia, after Korea and Japan.

#### The Among Us Street

The residents of Hanoi, accompanied by many other citizens of Vietnam, worked on a development project in Hanoi. And thus, the biggest shopping venue in Vietnam was created. This street was a prime reason in the rapid growth and stability of Vietnam. It was dubbed colloquially, “the Among Us Street,” after the fine Among Us-related structures which dotted the streets of Hanoi. These structures were built by Vietnam’s greatest contributor and merchant, ZGut, who remained the richest person on the entire server for a long time.

The street quickly became filled with various shops which sold many things to people from across the world. It also contained a PVP Arena (again, Among Us themed) that attracted many PVPers as well.

#### Mongol Wars

*(See Vietnamese Invasion of South Vietnam)*

The town of South Vietnam, had been made in Vietnamese claims on the first day of February. Soon after the Japanese and Taiwanese were provoked by the Mongols from their attack on Kaohsiung, Vietnam sieged South Vietnam. At first, the siege was not as important due to the already-raging battle of Kaohsiung. However, all focus was shifted to Vietnam after the battle ended. This siege too, was won by Vietnam and her allies. The town was put under Vietnamese occupation. The battle sparked a lot of controversy.

On February 18, the same town began a revolt siege. However this was easily suppressed and the town fell a day before the end of the siege due to upkeep, effectively ending Mongol influence in Vietnam's claims. Unfortunately, this marked a period of decline for the First Vietnamese Empire.

#### Decline

There are many factors that caused the downfall of the First Vietnamese Empire. One reason was the quitting of merchant ZGut. ZGut was the owner of the largest company in the server, the *ZGut Mart*. This company quickly took over the Among Us street in Hanoi and became very successful. He claimed to have quit due to simply being bored of the game. Nonetheless, this had an enormous impact on the economy of Vietnam.

It was also by this time, that the Republics of Vietnam had declared their independence. First Malaysia and Pacifica had formed their nations, followed by Singapore. Bali had fallen, and all the Lanfang towns of Borneo were to be relocated to the mainland (dissolving the state). Due to this massive change, Vietnam could no longer enjoy the once active and large player base it had through the unification of Southeast Asia.

As an attempt to revive the nation, both Vietnam and the Philippines proposed a merge—to form a new nation called ASEAN. However this plan quickly went to waste as no Filipino town was willing to join in the end.

### The Second Vietnamese Empire

(29/02/2022 - Present)

The **Second Vietnamese Empire** was under the rule of Emperor Pancen. The Prime Minister was YouLookTasty. It is the current state that Vietnam is in.

#### Revival of Vietnam

On the 28th of February, Emperor Keplr\_ quit the nation, citing a lack of motivation to be in power. The title of Emperor was naturally given to the Prime Minister YouLookTasty, who was also next in line to he throne. YouLookTasty quickly abdicated as Emperor and the nation spent some time Emperor-less. Eventually Pancen would come, a member trusted and revered by the Vietnamese community, to become Emperor.

Pancen, YouLookTasty, Kybinh\_Rongsong proposed a reformation of Vietnam completely. It included forming an active community, rebuilding the capital, restoring the market legacy of the First Empire, and improving the infrastructure of the nation as a whole.

A month later, the Among Us Street was once again opened, attracting many players daily. The population of Vietnam at this time was also at its peak, surpassing that of the former Vietnam's.
