ok first off the correct english translation is VIETNAM, not "Viet Nam." In Vietnamese, it appears as "Việt Nam," but when translated into english, the space disappears...
anyway :), Vietnam is a southeast asian country located next to Laos, Cambodia, and China. Vietnam is the 13th most populous country in the world.
the capital is Hanoi (my hometown ;D), though Ho Chi Min City in southern Vietnam (former Saigon) is a major city is well.
ethnically Vietnam is overwhelmingly Vietnamese. most of us don't hate America like the stereotype projects and in spite of government censorship, the majority of Vietnamese (and like 100% of the youth) are very modernized.
almost all Vietnamese people are atheist or agnostic, though many Buddhists exist as well. some ancestor worship is present
vietnamese architecture (especially our pagodas) is unprecedented.

Get the Vietnamese flashbang mug.People who hail or descend from North Viet Nam. Notorious for the "Z" sound on words with the "Y" (d) sound. They typically think that they're the best out of all the Vietnamese (North, South, Middle, Chinese-Vietnamese).
Typically say things such as: "No one thinks about Huế (Middle Viet Nam)", "The South lost because they can't pronounce anything correctly",
"You call the country 'Diệc Nam'? You bet we Diệt Nam! Cuz you guys lost..." Meaning of the last one: a typical southern dialect pronounces vs with the 'y' (d) sound and they pronounce ts at the end of word with the 'c' sound. This means that they say the country's name as "yiec nam" which sounds identical to their pronunciation of the word "Diệt" (yiet) which means to exterminate/get rid of. And "Nam" means south. So basically anytime a southerner says "Viet Nam" it will sound like "Yiec Nam / Eliminate the South" instead.
Northerners typically also have big egos and look down on other Vietnamese peoples... I'm looking at YOU, Kiet! You know who you are!

Get the North Vietnamese mug.Viet is a shorter term for one who is of Vietnamese descent. Vietnamese and other cultures name their children by this term as well. Those who are named Viet are very passionate. They are silent at first glance but very fun once they warm up to you. Viet's can have tempers and are not afraid to voice their opinion to someone close to them. However to strangers they remain quiet. Their facial expressions don't necessarily match their emotions. They could be content on the inside yet their face could mean danger. Those named Viet are not necessarily the brightest crayon in the box, however they will do anything to make their loved ones happy. Don't misuse their trust or let them down, because they can easily fall down the wrong path. If they've wronged you in some way, they will do all it takes to redeem themselves.
Viet is so kind!
