I voted Vietnam because that will make cybrxkhan happy, and they're important too.
Siam/Thailand and Vietnam tied for me, pretty much.
Though I'm not sure I'd put Vietnam into SEA. Geographically, yes, but culturally...they're really more of a East Asian civilization.
^we consider ourselves more East Asian than South Asian, even if we look more Khmer or something. Actually, a lot of Vietnamese can easily pass off as Chinese or Jpanese or whatever, even in the eyes of Asian people. And, althuogh our language is originally Austro-Asiatic or something, practically 90% of our words (including all our technical terms) are from Chinese.
