Abstract
Vietnam is a country of over 90 million people, the third largest nation in Southeast Asia after Indonesia and the Philippines, and with more people than any European country except Russia. Though parts of the country are very fertile, it includes challenging mountainous terrain, and some agricultural land is still recovering from military despoliation. The people include 54 ethnic groups. The largest group, the Kinh, is dominant in the principal cities of Hà Nội and Hồ Chí Minh. Vietnam also includes more than four million citizens living, working and studying abroad, an important resource with a continuing connection to the country.
