How do I start playing as Vietnam?
Create a free account, name your nation, then drop your capital on or near Hanoi on the real-world map. From that moment Vietnam's starting treasury, citizens and resources are yours to run.
Is there anything vietnam players should know first?
Collect taxes every 24 hours, keep happiness above the crime threshold, and don't overbuild military before your infrastructure can pay its upkeep. That order of operations decides most early Vietnam runs.
Do I have to name my nation "Vietnam"?
No. Landing on this page seeds your Asia location and flavour, but the name on your flag is entirely yours — call it Vietnam, a historical variant, or something invented.
Which nations will I be playing against near Vietnam?
Your immediate Asia neighbourhood includes Philippines, Pakistan and North Korea, plus every real player who has anchored nearby and the 8 AI powers that operate worldwide. Proximity matters for trade routes and for who notices when you mobilise.
Can I move Vietnam off its starting location?
Your capital's coordinates are set when you found the nation, so pick your spot near Hanoi deliberately. Everything else — government, religion, resources, military doctrine — stays changeable.
How long does a game of Vietnam last?
There's no end date. One game day equals one real day, your nation persists indefinitely, and long-running nations accumulate real advantages over newcomers.
