Vietnam Although there was the mention of the South East Asia War Zone in Fields of Fire, we've had a number of Third Edition mentions of it and the countries there so we might be an idea to include them back on the map.
Threats p13. Alamos 20K operates a front organization called the 'Army of Light'- a human supremacist, apocalyptical cult based out of Vietnam with their fingers also secretly in the local and international drugs trade.
Blood in the Boardroom p71. Says that several corporation from Vietnam and Thailand are members of the Pacific Prosperity Group, suggesting that they're still proper countires and contradicting Fields of Fire.
Thailand Cyberpirates p123. Imperial Japan has a lot of control over THailand and Cambodia, but nowhere near as much as with the Philippines. Chon Buri and Sattahip, just south of Krung Thep (Bangkok) sprawl, are major areas for illegal frugs trade.
You know, I enjoyed Wordman's work, but Fields of Fire was saying the borders had "virtually disappeared", not that the actual countries and governments on each side ot the borders had really disappeared. Even nowadays, these borders somewhere in the middle of SEA jungle are already quite virtual, with no patrol or custom posts. --Nath 09:18, 15 Oct 2004 (Eastern Daylight Time)
