The First and Only of The Democratic Republic of Vietnam is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ho Chi Minh with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, soft-spoken computers, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.343 billion Democratic Republic of Vietnamians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hanoi. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Democratic Republic of Vietnamian economy, worth a remarkable 1,408 trillion VNDS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 136,157 VNDS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The nation is Lazarus's leading manufacturer of intricately-patterned sweaters, young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, a newly discovered small mammal's name translates into Democratic Republic of Vietnamian as 'your finger, you fool', and EULAs remind customers that "Private Mode" is a browser setting rather than a promise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Democratic Republic of Vietnam's national animal is the water buffalo, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
The Democratic Republic of Vietnam is ranked 25,353rd in the world and 1,809th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 85.69 law-abiding acts per hour.
