New Saigon (Venusian Haven)



New Saigon is a ian colony under the joint control of the and. The colony was established in 1999 as part of the program in allowing fellow socialist nations a chance to travel to Venus. The origins of the colony began in 1996, in which many Vietnamese activists in the and western Europe began demanding a colony on Venus. The move gained mixed feelings in Vietnam, but gradually was seen as an interesting idea. In cooperation between the USA and the USSR, the colony was agreed to be a Vietnamese-governed colony, backed by by the USSR, and opened to all Vietnamese. Both Vietnamese natives and exiles took the chance to colonize the region, and has evolved into a non-aligned colony for Vietnam.

The flag of New Saigon was adopted in 2004, depicting an inverted Vietnamese flag with "six boxes" on the sides. The inverted flag is in honor for Soviet-support and funding for the colony (which remains under Soviet influence), while the six boxes represent the former. As with the original flag, the "lines" represent the diagrams. Because the lines are separated by the red star, many have expressed that it now represents the symbol for earth (rather than the traditional heaven or fire), which is said to define the footing for the colony.
