People's Republic of Daidieu

The People's Republic of Daidieu (Dieu: 大趙共和仁民), also described as the Kimnauszist Regime, was the Dieuese state under a one-party Marxist-Leninist totalitarian dictatorship that existed between 1972 and 1979. It was controlled by the Daidieu Communist Party (CPD) and allies, and it was founded when Kim Nàu Szì overthrew Hwàng Hwě Jing's government.

During the Kimnauszist regime, the Communist Party and related organizations were responsible for the deaths of several thousands of Dieuese through forced labour and genocide, until the Tet Expedition in January 1979, when an alliance of the and the anti-Kimnauszist members of the Dieuese Armed Forces overthrew the government. It was replaced by the authoritarian Republic of Daidieu, which would become the Kingdom of Daidieu in 1986 after people advocated for the restoration of the monarchy.

Establishment
On Novenber 22, 1972, Communist Party leader Kim Nàu Szì deposed Thàng Cang as the head of state and Hwàng Hwě Jing as the head of government. The military coup d'etat was supported in North Vietnam, Mongolia, the Warsaw Pact, and the Soviet Union.

The anti-communists, realizing that Daidieu became a Marxist-Leninist one-party state, fled to US-aligned countries for safety. Reacting to this, the Communist Party banned travel to all US-aligned countries starting on January 1, 1973. This made travel to western countries more difficult.

Education
Under the Kimnauszist regime, Daidieu abolished the Confucian style of education in favour of a Soviet system. During communist rule, it was mandatory to have portraits of Kim Nàu Szì inside classrooms.

Health
Health facilities in the PRD were undeveloped. The life expectancy dropped from 71.82 in 1970 to 66.28 in 1980, and the life expectancy would only return to normal levels in 1988. Western medicine was outlawed and replaced by traditional medicine.

Religion
Religion was outlawed by the Constitution. The largest and most-visited Buddhist temple in the city was converted into a political prison by the name of Camp 001. Buddhist monks were sentenced to death just for visiting temples. Most of the religious buildings were also converted into political prisoners. Abrahamic religions such as Christianity, Judaism, and Islam were even more persecuted, and Buddhism was removed as a state religion.

Ethnic minorities
The PRD banned all existence of all ethnic minorities, except for the Vietnamese as they supported the PRD. Selected ethnic groups were forced to leave Daidieu due to the government's mass killings of ethnic minorities.

Red Terror
"Main article: Red Terror (Daidieu)"During the PRD' existence from 1972 to 1979, many political opponents were silenced and never seen again. The Dieuese police force targeted people who were considered "an enemy of the state". These included:


 * Intellectuals
 * Political dissidents and members of the former National Democratic Party. Later, many CPD members were also killed because they were suspected of "plotting against Kim Nàu Szì".
 * Ethnic groups: Europeans (mostly journalists), indigenous, Champa, Chinese Dieuese
 * Religious people
 * Mentally and physically disabled people

Those people would then be taken to "re-education camps" and be tortured and killed. The communist government censored the death toll, citing only 1,000 people died during this time, whereas some historians place it as high as 200,000.

The torture and violations of the PRD came to worldwide attention in 1978, when a Canadian journalist named William Michaels was found dead in his Vancouver home after writing articles criticizing the government.

Precusors
There had been protests and violence in the years leading up to the Dieuese civil war, along with international condemnation with the assassination of William Michaels. Meanwhile, the government of the PRD was crumbling. Kim Nàu Szì, the leader, believed that the CPD was getting too moderate, so he killed moderate CPD members like Pǎm Tụ̀ Twa̋n (范自俊) and Viān Pìng Rụng (阮平容). Pǎm somehow managed to survive his assassination and formed a resistance group called FLD (Dieuese Liberation Front).
