         Vietnam (officially known as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam) is located in Southeast Asia. It is a low-flat delta, and has mountainous, hilly areas in the North and Northwest. The capital of Vietnam is Hanoi. Vietnam is a one-party Communist state country. The prime minister of Vietnam is currently Nguyen Tan Dung, and the president is Nguyen Minh Triet. The highest branch of the Vietnamese government is the National Assembly of Vietnam (Vietnam's unicameral legislature). The top court in the land is the Supreme People's Court.

      Vietnam is a densely-populated country with 87,840,000 people. Vietnam is a developing country, especially since they have had to recover from war. The government controls many factories in Vietnam as state-owned enterprises. 40% of the country's gross domestic product comes from it's state-owned enterprises. Vietnam exports shoes, clothes, crude oil, rice, marine products, coffee, tea, and rubber.

      Vietnam has some great beaches for vacation spots, like Nha Trang which is located in the Khanh Hoa province. Also Danang is a great beach, it was a central fighting area in the Vietnam War. Some major cities in Vietnam include Haiphong, Vinh, Hue, and Udon Thani. The Vietnam War was one in 1975 by the North Vietnamese. This war was between North Vietnam and South Vietnam. The North was communist, and the South was democratic. This war began when the North invaded the South.

    I think Vietnam is a very interesting country, it has some good beaches that I think would be fun to go to. Maybe someday I will be able to go there.
