How should pre-reunification films from Vietnam be attributed?

Vietnam reunited in 1976 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reunification_Day), when North & South Vietnam merged into a single country after the North's defeat of the South in the Vietnam War. Currently, there are two Vietnamese countries listed on IMDb: Vietnam and North Vietnam. I think this is both inconsistent (both Germany and Korea have three separate codes for the individual partitions and the unified states) and incorrect (as modern Vietnam should be seen as a successor state to North Vietnam, not South Vietnam). Point A: Inconsistency Both Germany and Korea have separate codes for different eras of their existence, disregarding successor states. Germany pre-partition: GER East Germany: DDDE West Germany: XWG post-reunification: GER (technically the same country as West Germany, which reabsorbed East Germany) Korea pre-partition: XKO North Korea: KP South Korea: KR Thus, Vietnam should have a similar set-up: pre-partition Vietnam: North Vietnam: currently VDVN South Vietnam: post-reunification Vietnam: currently VN (technically the same country as North Vietnam, which merged with South Vietnam after defeating them in the war) Point B: Incorrectness The current division of titles from the pre-reunification period also does not acknowledge that modern Vietnam is a successor to North Vietnam. There are currently 54 titles attributed to North Vietnam from 1955 until 1976 (https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?release_date=1850-01-01,1976-12-31&countries=VDVN&sort=release_date,asc). There are currently 36 titles attributed to Vietnam from 1953 until 1976 (https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?release_date=1850-01-01,1976-07-02&countries=VN&sort=release_date,asc) plus 4 titles from 1900-1924 when it was a French colony divided into three protectorates. It would make sense, then, for those 36 films to be assigned to a new code for South Vietnam. The 54 North Vietnamese titles should then either remain as they are, or be reassigned to the main Vietnam code since it's the same country (with the same flag). I don't know what makes the most sense for the 4 earliest titles - the first two from 1900 are clearly French as they are Lumière productions, the third from 1910 is probably French as well, while the fourth from 1924 is from a local Vietnamese production company based in Hanoi (then part of the Tonkin protectorate). There are also other early films not currently on IMDb. TL;DR I think a new country code should be added for South Vietnam to cover the films made there during the time of the State of Vietnam (1949-1955) and the Republic of Vietnam (1955-1975). This would solve both issues of current data being inconsistent and incorrect. I appreciate that this is not a big problem, affecting less than 100 titles currently on the site, but since IMDb is a database I do think it should strive to be reliably accurate and consistent.
