South Vietnam 


 * Government: After a brutal presidential campaign in 1967, there has been almost 4.3 Million votes casted, and only 3 Candidates recieved more than a million vote. Ngo Dinh Nhu (Ngo Dinh Diem's brother, 1.6 Million), Nguyen Van Thieu (1.1 Million), and Truong Dinh Dzu (1.03 Million). The 5 other candidates below accused Ngo Dinh Diem of rigging the votes in favor of his brother Ngo Dinh Nhu. Nhu and Diem denied these allegations, the runner-up candidates said nothing. Nevertheless Ngo Dinh Nhu won the popular vote and was sworn in as President in Early 1968. His platform is based upon rooting out suspicious citizens (using secret police), and to stabilize and fix the economy by the end of the term.


 * Military: Army still stands at 500,000 + 100,000 from allied support.  Navy had grown to larger size, estimated a total of 18,000 personell and Over 1000 ships in 1967, expected to reach 1,200 ships in late 1970. Airforce in 1968 became the 5th strongest airforce just as they were (but 4th strongest) in our timeline.


 * Economy: The small reccession that affected had put a sharp rise in prices, some prices rose from 2 US Dollars to 4 US dollars within the year. However the economy is starting to normalize again and newly elected President Nhu is planning to deflate the economy by the end of the term.


 * Diplomacy: None so far.
