This week I had the chance to speak with Vietnam. Normally, I would say the president, but this time was different. There were all kinds of people popping in and out, making it a chaotic session.

It began with navigating the President's https://app.warera.io/user/6966681c660f212218e0a795 Minecraft schedule (fair enough) and a brief introduction
hi hello, my name is itxv, im the second native president of Vietnam in Warera, and the current leader of the VietnamPixel, glad to be interviewed by the Irish Cassette
After figuring out there wasn't a way around it, the Vice President https://app.warera.io/user/697a1bc71f7965e51368beba Stepped in to relay the President's words. I started the questions off with "What's the hardest decision you've had to make as president?"
My life being a president is kinda chill, I dont have to choose any hard decisions oftenly The works is mostly done by https://app.warera.io/user/6980c69039364cbdb415bcdf, with my direction"
Leaving some to question whether the president even plays the game, or if he just plays Minecraft? Seems pretty cushy to me. The follow-up was something I will spare you guys from. When asked, "How do you balance development with maintaining a healthy treasury?" That is when things started to derail. One is sending embarrassing photos of the president, one attempting to relay his response, and one that kept interjecting to let people know they didn't care about the interview. After things died down, I got my response.
The country doesnt have much people, the treasury relies mainly on donation. I also dont care much about development
Navigating through the chaos, I continued my questions, "What issue do you think other countries misunderstand about your nation?" This is where it seemed I sparked some interest in the interview because I got an actual response.
"-Some people are still thinking of us as a proxy (a Sri Lankan guy once called us India's proxy), so let's state it once again, we are not being controlled by anyone, we are the natives
-Vietnam is not hostile to anyone, even the enemy, so don't be afraid to reach out to us!
-Vietnam doesnt have much in its treasury; my friends and I keep writing articles to beg for money, as you can see in the articles tab (this is reason why you should tip those articles)
-The new gov isnt full of the elders anymore, we are the Gen Z and we do questionable things frequently"
Switching to the important questions was when it seemed I had the attention. I had asked, "What is a must-try food when visiting?" One had stated Pho, Banh mi, and Bun cha were a must. The MoD joined in after they gave up, saying it was an interview meant for the president, not everyone who was butting in
kinda the same as they stated, but that's only the surface of our cuisine it is much more diverse than you'd expect each food such as pho and bun cha have many other variation depends on the regions. The way we savor it is also different in some way
When asked which country has the best memes. The president said,
most of the memes i actually enjoy are made by a diverse amount of people from different nationalities, it's hard to pick just one or i could just say i love Vietnamese memes because im proud of my country
Then, to wrap up, I had asked, "What promise are you making that the readers can hold you accountable for?" The president, well past his bedtime from crafting, couldn't understand the question and went to bed. The VP woke up a couple of hours later and left you with
Promise from the Vice President of Vietnam: "Having fewer players doesn't mean we can't rise! With our players' spirits and hard work, one day in Warera, we could be compared to some of the greatest nations in Southeast Asia, like the Viet Cong back then!"
If you made it this far, THANK YOU! Vietnam was definitely an interesting trip. 10/10 would not go back. Tune in next week to see who we interview next
