Country Codes - ISO 3166 - Thiệu gradually outmaneuvered Kỳ and cemented his grip on power in fraudulent elections in 1967 and 1971.
Updates: Update 8 to Geopolitical Entities and Codes, the successor to FIPS standard 10-4, is dated 2012-05-01. It deleted the FIPS code for Ha Tay province. ISO 3166-2 deleted its code for Ha Tay on 2014-11-03. In the same update, ISO added diacritics as needed to the province names. Update 15 to the GEC, the successor to the FIPS standard, is dated 2014-03-31. It changes the spelling of one province from Dac Lak to Dak Lak with diacritics that I am not currently able to display. ISO 3166-2 Newsletter II-3 is dated 2011-12-15. For Vietnam, the five municipalities have been given new ISO codes that are alphabetic rather than numeric. Previously, their codes were 48 for Can Tho, 60 for Da Nang, 62 for Haiphong, 64 for Hanoi, and 65 for Ho Chi Minh. This update doesn't reflect the removal of Ha Tay province. FIPS 10-4 Change Notice 12, dated 2007-06-11, has FIPS codes for the three new provinces. The table has been updated accordingly. The standard also designates Can Tho and Da Nang as municipalities rather than provinces. ISO 3166-2 Newsletter number I-7 was published on 2005-09-13. It provides codes for the three new provinces created in 2003 and reported here on 2003-11-27. ISO 3166-2 Newsletter Number I-2 was published on 2002-05-21. ISO 3166-2 Newsletter Number I-1 was published on 2000-06-21. The original ISO 3166-2 standard had assigned the same code, 24, to both Quang Binh and Quang Ninh provinces. The update changes the code for Quang Ninh to 13 to avoid duplication. Country overview: Short name VIETNAM ISO code VN FIPS code VM Language Vietnamese vi Time zone +7 Capital Hanoi Vietnam was part of French Indo-China in 1900. It attained partial independence in 1949. In 1954, the French, tired of fighting the Communists in the north, but unwilling to abandon the country to them, agreed to partition it along the 17th parallel. The parts were North Vietnam capital Hanoi and South Vietnam Saigon, now Ho Chi Minh City. Conflict continued until the two countries were formally united on 1976-07-02.

The codes shown in the table above were valid as of 2002. If no postal codes were changed during subsequent province mergers and splits, some of the codes in Hanoi municipality would begin with 31 from the old Ha Tay province. Further subdivisions: See the page. Various sources, including the General Statistics Office of Vietnam, show the country divided into six to eight regions. There is no consistency to the regional division, even within the GSO. Their purpose seems to be statistical, not administrative. For that reason, I've decided not to list them. According to it, as of 2004-12-31, Vietnam was divided at the secondary level into 25 cities under provinces, 42 urban districts, 536 rural districts, and 59 towns; at the tertiary level into 1,181 precincts, 583 towns under districts, and 9,012 communes. The source doesn't make it clear, so the tertiary level may not be exhaustive, or may have additional structure not shown. The for Vietnam lists locations in the country, some of them with their latitudes and longitudes, some with their ISO 3166-2 codes for their subdivisions. This information can be put together to approximate the territorial extent of subdivisions. It was divided into the territories of Anam French name Annam; capital Hué , Cambodia Cambodge; Phnom Penh , Cochin China Cochinchine; Saigon , Laos Laos; Louang Prabang , and Tongking Tonkin; Hanoi. Anam, Cochin China, and Tongking were essentially equivalent to present-day Vietnam. The Vietnamese names for them were Trung Bo, Nam Bo, and Bac Bo respectively, meaning Center, South, and North. They were subdivided into provinces. Their formal names were Republic of Vietnam and Democratic Republic of Vietnam, respectively. Name of Saigon changed to Ho Chi Minh City. Before this change, the FIPS codes of Dong Nai and Hau Giang were VM08 and VM18, respectively. Name of Gia Lai-Cong Tum province changed to Gia Lai-Kon Tum. At this time, the provinces were as follows: Province FIPS Population Area km. Nghia Binh province split into Binh Dinh and Quang Ngai. Phu Khanh province split into Khanh Hoa and Phu Yen. Ha Tuyen province split into Ha Giang and Tuyen Quang. Hoang Lien Son province split into Lao Cai and Yen Bai. Nghe Tinh province split into Ha Tinh and Nghe An. Gia Lai-Kon Tum province split into Gia Lai and Kon Tum. Part of Dong Nai province annexed to Vung Tau-Con Dao special zone to form Ba Ria-Vung Tau province. Thuan Hai province split into Binh Thuan and Ninh Thuan. Hau Giang province split into Can Tho and Soc Trang. Cuu Long province split into Tra Vinh and Vinh Long.
