Flag of Vietnam
The flag of Vietnam features a large five-pointed yellow star on a red field.
Where it is
Vietnam is grouped in South-Eastern Asia, within Roam’s Asia region. Its land-border list includes 3 countries in this atlas: Cambodia, China, Laos. The source classifies it as not landlocked.
Vietnam has a recorded area of 331,212 square kilometres. Among the 11 countries assigned to South-Eastern Asia in this dataset, it ranks 5 by area, from largest to smallest. Philippines is immediately above it in that ordering, at 342,353 km². Malaysia is immediately below it, at 330,803 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 101,598,527 people for Vietnam in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 307 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Vietnamese. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Vietnamese Dong (VND). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
