Introduction to Vietnamese Government

Vietnam's government calls itself a socialist republic. The country is controlled by its only political party - the Communist Party of Vietnam. Therefore, there are no legal opposition parties, although people are able to hold seats in the National Assembly as independents.

Vietnam is an autocracy, which means it is controlled by one group of people, and is not realistically democratic, even though the people do vote in elections.
