It was a real country. It was also a mess but so are many other countries. You can try to blast the US and the government of South Vietnam for not taking part of the Geneva Accords seriously but the accords don't change reality. South Vietnam was as much a country as East Germany was or South Korea is. Or to give another example Taiwan. Few other countries recognize it as a country because they don't want to piss the PRC off but Tawian is indeed a real country.

The problem is the same problem that has lead to many historic conflicts. When a region is ruled or threatened by the rule by some entity that doesn't represent their interests opposition is bound to surface, violent opposition when resolution is not reached. Blame who ever you want.

Now with modern communication, we have virtual communities of people. It will be interesting to see how that plays out in the future.
