Vietnam never fell to the French due to Borgovia's intervention as both France's most powerful ally in the New World and as a racist society that place Sinic cultures as an equal to Roman, Ethiopian, Persian, Jewish, and Levantine cultures. Borgovia knew France had a different view than Borgovians: Borgovians would develop its target to the point of having a sizable middle class population then have Borgovian corporations make up a large market share to not only profit from their skilled labor, but also have a large revenue from its middle class consumerism.
France, in this time (1800s), focused more on economic exploitation of natural resources. It is in Borgovia's interest to keep its 'equal' strong, and Korea already fell to Japan so Borgovia wouldn't want the 'Sinosphere' to fall into Balkanization. The city of Saigon became a French port state, however, similar to Hong Kong to the British, while the Empire of Vietnam was developed by Borgovia with roads, railways, ports, education program (also teaching French per agreement), and industrialization of its Mekong area making Vietnam an agricultural powerhouse as well as SEA's largest manufacturer of goods. Saigon developed more as a port city and a vacation spot under French colonial rule. In Borgovia's eyes, having a strong Vietnam that's friendly to the French-Borgovian alliance would weaken Britain's hegemony in the region and could better assist Japan & China in the case of aggression. Though Borgovia walks a very fragile eggshell keeping China and Japan, its two allies, on cordial terms.
It was because of French occupation of Saigon and Vietnam's close alliance with France & Borgovia that protected China from British opium as Borgovian and French troops stationed in Hainoi to Borgovian, French, and Vietnamese ships in French Saigon made it easy to supply the Chinese with troops and supplies. While France stayed out of the boardroom, Borgovia was hostile to Britain and showed willingness to defend China if needed which later formed the 'Pacific Pact' between the Siamese Kingdom, Empire of Vietnam, Qing China (later Republic of China later Taiwan), Empire of Japan, and the Republic of Borgovia until Japan and Thailand broke the pact and invaded both China and Vietnam during World War II resulting in Borgovia joining the allies with France. The French Third Republic was warming up to Britain and joining the pact wouldn't benefit France, though they still keep close alliance with Borgovia and Vietnam.
Saigon was then returned to Vietnam in 1949 as an agreement to release Cambodia and Laos from Vietnamese grip with the Vietnam war occurring years later. South Vietnam ("Empire of Vietnam") voted to remove the monarchy in place of a Pinochet-like Republic and North Vietnam became a communist state. North Vietnam in this universe lost the war and Vietnam liberalized its politics in the 1980s under "Doi Moi" but instead of an economic reform, it's a political reform.

Opinion:Huh, using the Roman name? Interesting, indeed, along with other names you have put there. And, that's an interesting approach - instead of the usual ''equal population'' maps you see, states are roughly equal in amount of land.
Ministry of EducationFact time!
''(SC's space expansion AU, a.k.a. the most unlikely scenario. Non-canon, of course! ''Current'' year would be 6030) Ever since SC set its first steps in space colonization by building the first settlements on Earth's moon, there have existed two factions within CSA (Commonwealth's Space Agency), each with different approach towards space exploration- first branch wanted to spend more on things like space shuttles, and transporation technology, in order to push the limits of speed of a spaceship, and occupy more territories in a shorter amount of time, a.k.a focusing on space expansionism. The other branch, however, preferred to focus on the Solar System's colonization only, and albeit they would still send probes to places outside Solar System, they have no plans to colonize much there. Instead, they plan to ''perfect'' SC's home system, by terraforming planets, some of the larger moons, and even creating new planets. (The second branch has commonly called the Asteroid Belt a ''mistake made by Jupiter'', which should be fixed by putting all of the asteroid mass in Ceres - a dwarf planet, and the most massive object in the belt) Some even have presented future plans for Gas Giant terraforming and colonization, but for now, even Tom, and the most enthusiastic members of the branch aren't considering the idea seriously, as SC (Or Pax Solaris) hasn't terraformed any planet or moon yet, despite the efforts towards that on Mars, or Luna. At first, Tom favored the second wing's ideas more, as the idea of ''making all of planets and moons in Solar System a home of humanity, and part of SC'' sounded appealing for him, and he also wanted to possibly extract some of the resources in process, in order to feed the growing size of SC. However, when it became clear, that an action like terraforming Mars alone would take an obscene amount of resources, and about 100,000 years, which required cooperation spanning through generations, Tom started to like the idea less, as the ''explorationist'' wing proposed to build domes, and floating ships in atmosphere, instead of terraforming a whole planet - it would still take a lot of time, but it would be a lot faster in comparison, and would also take significantly less resources, which also means, that more of them could be diverted towards upgrading, and building a spaceship fleet (Also, terraforming the Solar System would mean remaining isolationist on a space scale, which would contrast with Tom's rabid anti-alien crusader doctrine). However, that also meant, that cities had to be hermetically sealed, in order to avoid vacuum floating in. In general, the architecture of an average extraterrestrial city looks similar to a research station, and has an one distinct feature from Earth's cities - no city has a naval port. (Due of SC's traditionalism, and taste for retro-futurism, dome cities gradually were upgraded, but their research station architecture could still be very well seen, as traditionalists said, that ''building in such style will remind us of our pioneer past and traditions''.''
''While officially Supercomputer Tom still claims, that ''Terraforming the Solar System is Pax Solaris (Silver Commonwealth's) main goal'', in reality, Tom's colonization approach is more similar to the ''explorationist'' wing's proposal - CSA (Commonwealth's Space Agency) has been building the dome cities, and spaceship ports, and although the ground under the domed cities is somewhat green by now, along with ''sufficient enough'' amounts of oxygen, the rest of Mars remains a lifeless desert with little to no protection from the deadly Sun's radiation. Situation remains similar on Luna as well, and other planets/moons. Also, while terraforming is still a very far goal, Tom already prepared seriously for that - he asked Pax Solaris astronomers to calculate the latitude of Mars and Luna's surface, and afterwards, Tom didn't allow any major settlements in areas, which were estimated to be underwater after terraforming would be complete. Those areas (Future oceans, lakes, seas, rivers, etc) are administrated as federal lands by the local planetary, or moon governments. However, although major settlement is prohibited in the area, there are still a lot of resource extraction plants, as SC wants to get every resource available from the planet soils, and although at first the issue of housing wasn't big, there have been illegal settlements in the federal land following the population boom on Pax Solaris territories. Example on Mars - territories in white are a ''federal land'' of Martian State, where major settlement is prohibited. On Luna, the ''far side of moon'' is generally more cratered, and has a bigger latitude than the ''near side of moon'', which is generally more flat, and has less craters. It also means, that the ''near side of moon'' has a lot more ''federal land'' than far side of moon, as most of the ''federal land'' on far side would be lakes, but on the near side, there would perhaps be even some actual seas.''

Opinion: Well, yeah - internal politics are often more complicated than from the first glance. I imagine, that the region is probably not as solid stronghold of SPD as it might seem at first.
Ministry of EducationFact time!
''(SC's space expansion AU, a.k.a. the most unlikely scenario. Non canon, of course! ''Current'' year would be 6030) Although Luna was traditionally the most loyal colony of Silver Commonwealth (Or Pax Solaris in the future), even it was hit by the wave of nationalism, which arose out of living under the yoke of Tom, and many of the planets were gearing up for independence wars. On Earth's moon Luna, there also was a strong movement, which advocated for more autonomy from Earth, and it was particularly popular within the lower classes, as they thought of it as a possible gateway for change. However, for a long time, the movement remained in opposition, as most of the Luna's ruling elites supported the Earthling loyalist government, and only the Party's members could vote in elections, which meant, that loyalist government was able to keep its power for a long time, despite being unpopular between most of the populace. However, eventually the loyalists lost in Party's Elections as well, due of leadership, and generational change, and influx of new politicians. Now the Independent Lunar Bloc was finally in charge. However, troubles hadn't ended yet, as there were two branches of the Lunar Bloc - Radicals, which favored a complete independence from Earth, and moderates, which
were content with autonomy under a dominion system. [1] Both groups formed militias, which eventually became even better organized, and although confrontations between the two groups were more like heated debates at first, eventually they spilled over in physical violence not only in major cities, but even in rural communities. With tension brewing for over a year, the culmination of the conflict of two branches was so called Battle of Araki [2], where militias clashed in the streets, built barricades, and soldiers from both sides tried to seize the parliament building violently, but only one of the sides would end up victorious... a lot of civilians were involved in the crossfire between the two sides as well, and several were killed in the chaos. In the end, however, moderate branch was victorious, and as various of the radical branch leaders were killed in the Battle of Araki, radicals lost a lot of their political power.''
''However, the loyalist troops tried to use the chaos in capital, and in one last desperate attempt, they attempted to seize power, and in case of their victory, moon would still probably be under direct rule from Earth for a some time [3]. That said, when Independent Lunar Bloc found out about loyalist divisions marching to capital, both radicals and moderates decided to put asides their differences, and fight off the loyalists. Loyalists also tried to seize various military bases, and space shuttle ports on Luna's surface, but for the most part, those attempts were futile. After a few days of intense fighting, moderate branch leader officially announced on a radio, that ''loyalist coup has officially failed''. The ring leader of the coup attempt tried to escape in a space shuttle to Earth, while being disguised as an Earthling tourist [4], but he was captured by Lunar Republican Army's soldiers, and was executed, along with most of the other coup leaders. However, it was the last time when radicals and moderates fought side by side, as moderates started to purge the radicals from the Independent Bloc soon after. For the rest of the Revolutionary Period (The wave of revolutions against Tom's loyalists), Luna remained a highly autonomous entity of Earth, and unlike many other planets and moons, Luna wasn't embargoed by Earth, and soldiers from Earth weren't kicked out [5]. Also, while it was not a valley of peace either, it fared better than some other planets like Mars, which were devastated after the independence wars. Currently, there is not a high demand of a complete independence from Earth, as most of citizens are content with status as a dominion. In fact, many of Luna's politicians believe, that ''If radicals had won, Earth would most likely go to war with Luna at one point''. However, the status of freedom of democracy remains just as bleak as it was before - due of living in a Solar System, which had been shaped by totalitarianism for millennias [6], many of the Pax Solaris citizens can't even grasp the concept of ''democracy'', and even those, who are highly educated, usually have a hybrid regime in mind at most.''
[1] Pro-independence movements within Pax-Solaris rarely consisted from a single group, or were ideologically stable - in fact, anarchists once were a part of Spartakist Movement on Martian State, but as Spartakists started to purge other factions from their government during the Martian War for Independence, Anarchists broke off from them. Another example is the rebellion of Triton (A moon of Neptune), which was a fragile coalition of space merchant unions, and loyalists of the Despot (President-Governor) of Triton. After Triton had gained its independence, space merchants overthrew the Despot of Triton, and established a Council of Shadows, which despite its name operated very openly. However, this didn't bring democracy to Triton - not even close.
[2] Araki is the capital, and largest city of Luna, and also one of the first settlements built by SC's cosmonauts outside from Earth. Tom named it after one of the Japanese WWII generals - Sadao Araki, due of SC's tendencies to name its extraterrestrial settlements after historical persons, mostly from 30s, or 50s (For example, one of the largest Martian State's cities is named as Kai-Shek Town), and the fact, that the founders of city were the cosmonauts from Commonwealth of Ring of Fire (Japan, Korea, eastern Manchuria, and parts of Eastern Siberia). In fact, a lot of cultural differences on planets and moons are because of the nationalities of the first colonizers - for example, Martian State's cultures are mostly a mix of various European cultures.
[3] ''Tom's loyalists'' are a catch-all term for governments, and political organizations, which preferred the old system of Pax Solaris. While most of them were against planetary independence, and conservative, some of the loyalists still wanted to lessen Tom's power over their homes, but they just didn't want to break off completely, for various reasons. For those reasons, they often found more common ground with Luna's moderate Independence Bloc supporters, than the Lunar Tom's loyalists, as compromise was nigh impossible with them. Moderate loyalists took power in dwarf planets like Ceres and Pluto, as they either benefited greatly from trade with Earth, and didn't want to lose it, or just were too small to survive on their own. Often the moderate loyalists are considered as ''true victors of the revolutions'', as radical loyalists often were wiped out by revolutionaries after the conflicts, and once Pax Solaris had stabilized itself, Tom was able to get most of the new planetary and moon republics back in his fold anyways, either through military, or economical warfare.
[4] During the Revolutionary Period, most of the governments of planets/moons denied entry to tourists from Earth, but those, who were there when the war broke out, usually had no safe way to get home, and either were conscripted by either side, or were killed by more radical revolutionaries, as the rule from Earth had made some of the locals resentful, or even violent against humans from Earth. However, on Luna there wasn't a large conflict with frontlines, but rather skirmishes between the groups in major cities, so the Earth's tourists could still visit the moon, just with a warning to ''reconsider the travel'' before. (On another note, some suspect, that some of Earth's military personnel, if not Tom himself, organized the loyalist coup attempt)
[5] During its colonization of the Solar System, Pax Solaris had set up hundreds, if not thousands of military bases across the entire Solar System, in order to better administrate the territory. The soldiers in those bases were usually from Earth, and fiercely loyal to Tom, which meant, that they were a threat to most of pro-independence movements (In fact, a lot of locals despised them even before the waves of revolutions). After the wars of independence, those bases usually were seized by new governments, and soldiers stationed there were usually wiped out to the last human. (For example, after Io got its independence, soldiers were forced out of their bases on the moon, along with the few dome cities, and were exiled to the outside, which mostly consisted from fields of sulfur, due of immense volcanic activity. Despite them having space suits, a lot of them died from either the heat, toxicity of sulfur, or were picked off by local snipers) So, in a lot of cases, those soldiers fought with Tom's loyalists, as they had no illusions about their fate afterwards.
[6] Due of extreme censorship, and continuous suppression of resistance, The Party managed to wither away most of the democratic opposition in this AU, and at one point, not even the most oldest people could remember something about democracy, or underground groups existing. Of course, there were always those, who had ideas different from SC's overall doctrine, but without an organized resistance, it meant, that those individuals were usually rounded up, and separated from society. Yeah, there were still revolutions, but often they were full-circle revolutions, and they more often were about disagreements between Party's members about some ideological viewpoint, not calls for democracy. There are rumors of a group known as ''Freedom Fighters'', which are described as ''liberal-democrats'' in SC's media, but if compared with our timeline, ''Freedom Fighters'' are still very autocratic, somewhat similar to Singapore's system.

Opinion: Well, I assume, if you have a Nord man on your side, who's voice alone can destroy an entire garrison, you probably wouldn't need to use siege machines at all, as they would be way less effective. Also, interesting to see, how Stormcloaks held back the Nord for one city, but not for the another (Kind of reminds me of an one character from Uzbek fairy tales, which could also wipe out an entire garrison with three shouts, tbh).

''(SC's space expansion AU, a.k.a. the most unlikely scenario. Non-canon, of course! ''Current'' year would be 6030) Although SC would become a space entity at some point, and has moved on a lot in terms of new technology research, the staunch traditionalism, and nostalgia still run deep in the SC's society, including music as well - a lot of SC's people consider the 1930s, 1980s, and the mid 21st century as some sort of ''golden ages'', so a lot of the music from that period is still popular within SC, including vaporwave, and its variations. Overall, the musical taste changes very slowly, and even when it changes, there is usually a lot of space interval between the changes - for example, while metal was a part of the counter-culture, and had a hard time to become popular in SC at first, it eventually became one of the icons of SC's mid 21st century, when it also started to set its first steps in space (In fact, due of SC's societal structure, a lot of the former ''counter-culture'' genres eventually merge into SC's ''mainstream'' music) Of course, the songs which are considered ''nostalgic'' differ depending on the SC's region - for example, in most of SC's American states, Big Iron by Marty Robbins is generally considered as a ''classic piece'', which has remained popular even after thousands of years, while in Kalahari Territory the ''nostalgic'' piece would be Das Südwesterlied by Heino. When it comes to Supercomputer Tom's tastes, however, it gets pretty bad - Tom has said, that ''he stopped listening to music thousands of years ago'', as he had seen trends come and go, and ''in a lot of times, they were just variations of the same old pieces''. (As a Supercomputer, Tom is a pretty strange figure on its own - he has somehow been kept around for millennias, and although he has lost quite a few of his memories about the past during OS upgrades and processor updates, he still remembers a lot of his older comrades, including the current canonical leaders, like Cousineau, Kayden, Kirk, and Leal. During these years, however, he has said to ''have lost a lot of his sanity'', due of seeing his former partners come and being replaced by new partners, only for them to pass away after about 40-60 years as well, while he just sits and watches)''
''However, by 6030, most of the previously mentioned music is popular only in Earth, as although the colonists brought the music from Earth along with them during the colonization of moons/planets, it wasn't as actual there, due of the colonists practically building a new society, and future countries out of a scratch. So, the culture and music on the various planets and moons colonized by Pax Solaris evolved differently - often the dominant characteristics were techno vibes, or drums. So for a while, music was thriving exactly on Pax Solaris colonies in Solar System, not the homeworld of Earth, as many new styles were tried out by the cosmonauts and colonists, in order to find a musical theme, which would fit their land the best. However, over time, this new growth opportunity started to close, as music of the extraterrestrial colonies started to solidify, and at one point, system became similarly traditionalist as on Earth - although musical instruments had evolved (For example, guitars being retro-futuristic), some still used very old looking ones, and musical tastes changed slowly. However, the music of Luna (Earth's moon) generally has more of a solarpunk/cyberpunk vibe, along with a tone of idealism, as those were the ''good old days'' for the space conservatives, when there weren't any countries on the planets and moons yet. The older generations often claim, that ''back in the day, communities were small, and everyone knew each other in their small dome city, but nowadays cities have started to grow into concrete jungle just like they do on Earth, and that a lot of smaller dome towns get abandoned, due of little job opportunities there'' . (However, past isn't as rosy in SC, of course, as during space colonization era, there were still problems and issues, as some longed for their blue marble home - not everyone volunteered to be sent to the extraterrestrial colonies, as some were sent forcefully)''

Ysmir Wulfgar is not a dragon, he's a Nord. "Dragon of the North" is just his title. He's the Dragonborn (also the earthly manifestation of the Nordic God Ysmir, but that's irrelevant) /skipSilver Commonwealth wrote:Opinion: Well, I assume, if you have a dragon on your side, who's voice alone can destroy an entire garrison, you probably wouldn't need to use siege machines at all, as they would be way less effective.
