## Description

The Greater Vietnamese Republic is a nation that appears in Ascendancy 22. It is located in Southeast Asia, controlling all of mainland Indochina. To the north, Vietnam has a border with China, India to the west, and Malaysia to the south. Across the South China Sea lies the Philippines.

Inside the nation, it is discouraged to speak any language besides Vietnamese. While it is okay to use the Quốc Ngữ script in writing, Chữ Nôm is preferred and is the script used by the entire Vietnamese government. In foreign countries, it's unknown whether Vietnam is liberal or fascist. This type of confusion usually sparks controversy. The national anthem of Vietnam is Việt Nam Minh Châu Trời Đông.

The president, Torblox, (Lê Hải Văn) feels as though East and Southeast Asia had been torn apart by Western influence of culture. He advocates that returning to old, traditional Asian cultures would benefit all nations. Although he does not like the West for its actions in the past, Torblox has managed to become very good friends with the leaders of Germany, Britain, and Hungary, and is exporting goods to the Germany and Hungary. Vietnam and Germany do have a modernization program together, to help each other on research. In summary, Torblox opposes the mixture of Western and Eastern culture, but appreciates some characteristics of Western European nations, like Germany in 1941.

## History

Lê Hải Văn staged a nationalist coup in Hanoi to overthrow the Communist Party of Vietnam. Under his government, Văn would expand Vietnam beyond its historical borders. Still, he would claim new territories as "lost Vietnamese territories," even if it was never part of Vietnam over the course of history.

Laos, remaining as a puppet state, had its president replaced with a Vietnamese. The country would then become more aligned towards Vietnam than Laos itself. Eventually, during a war against Thailand, Vietnam would integrate Laos into its territory.

Vietnam invaded Cambodia in December of 2022. During this time, Vietnamese generals and governors would use the insult: "Cumbodia," a mixture of the word "Cambodia" and "cum." this was supposed to imply that the nation of Cambodia was lustful and degenerate.

Soon, Vietnam began an expansion it had never experienced through the course of its history. Under Lê Hải Văn, Vietnam accomplished goals it had failed to achieve in the past. This heavily fueled nationalism in Vietnam and encouraged the Vietnamese people to believe they are superior compared to Filipino, Indonesian, and Chinese people, going as far as to claiming that the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, and even Russians are successors of Vietnamese people.

In October 2023, the Philippines expanded its borders. This terrified Lê Hải Văn, as an expanded Philippines would certainly lead to the collapse of his nation's reputation in favor for the other. To combat this, Lê Hải Văn mobilized and justified a war against the Philippines. Knowing this, Gab negotiated with Văn, promising to withdraw from Malaysia for peace.

In December of 2023, Vietnam declared war on Malaysia in order to prove that the mobilization meant a war. Taking advantage of Malaysia's misfortune, the Philippines declared war on Malaysia to take Sabah. Only in this situation did Lê Hải Văn accept his declaration of war, because he knew that in this way, the Philippines' power could be equal or weaker than Vietnam after a plan to split up Indonesia. During the invasion, Gab Hernando reached out to Lê Hải Văn to create an alliance together. This would be called the Mekong Co-Prosperity Sphere. Next, Vietnam and the Phiippines declared war on Indonesia. During this time, Vietnam influenced the Philippines so much to the point where the Philippines transformed into Philuattan, a puppet of Vietnam.

In 2024, China declared war on Vietnam. As a result, six other nations assisted Vietnam against China. This obviously resulted in China's defeat, and Vietnam gained lots of territory. After the war in 2025, Vietnam released all its puppet states, Xingapore, Namduong, and Philuattan, as independent nations. All the nations would merge as one into Philuatsong. Philuatsong would become a fully equal member of the sphere and have great relations with Vietnam.

The Mekong Co-Prosperity Sphere expanded. Soon, India joined the alliance, the Japan, then Rhodesia, Botswana, and finally Brazil. Under Vietnam, President Văn announced the complete unity of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. In 2026, Vietnam launched an invasion against the Federal Republic of Somalia in order to establish a puppet state. The invasion was a success, and Somalia transformed into Xumalia. After the invasion, Vietnam declared war on Ethiopia to establish a puppet state.
