Get the Banana Republic mug.(VIETNAMESE HISTORY) artificial state created by the 1954 Geneva Agreement (to end the First Indochina War). Parties to the agreement were the People's Republic of China, the USSR, and France; the Vietnamese were stuck with an agreement that perpetuated colonial rule over the majority of their population.
ROVN expected to be a clone of Republic of Korea; however, in ROK, there were a lot of nationalist leaders with a broad popular following, whereas in South Vietnam there weren't; instead, Vietnamese loyalties lay with Vietnamese nation created in May 1945 (by the Viet Minh). This had little to do with Communism, and more to do with the fact that there was nothing Vietnamese about the ROVN. It was not a republic, because there was no legitimate system of choosing the ruler, and no accountability to the people. And it wasn't Vietnamese.
Political opponents of the regime were routinely executed.
Eventually, US withdrew its support because there was an irrepressible conflict between the "realists" in the Pentagon, who understood that the approach to the war had to address widespread peonage, and the neoconservatives, who were ideological fanatics. The ROVN instantly collapsed, because it had no base of support left in the Vietnamese population.

The "Republic of Vietnam" was a comic opera creation, with no legitimacy, no law, no legitimacy; no Vietnamese loved it, its army would not fight for it, its generals mainly sought power of money, and the US military was completely deceived by the whole imposture.

Get the racist Republican mug.Unlike a compromise which involves a give and take between opposing viewpoints, and mutual concessions, a republimise means to agree with whatever the Repugnicant overlords say given their attitude of arrogance and self righteousness and certainty that they are always right. Whether their 'mandate' consists of a one vote victory in the US Supreme Court as in the 2000 Presidential election, or taking back one house in the Congress as in the 2010 election despite polling showing the popularity of the party overall at 25% in approval ratings, they never waver from their certitude that they are always right and belong in power.
A Republicompromise was offered by the new house majority leader which consisted of 'our way or the highway' rather than any concession to the other party. The tea baggers declared themselves the new poltical center despite the fact that they are a bunch of extremist whack jobs who HATE AMERICA and agreed to Republimise meaning everyone else had to agree with them.
