- After merging with Ha Tay, Hanoi (capital) is the largest province in Vietnam
tzdb goes by cities, not provinces. citypopulation.de estimates a population for Hanoi (including Ha Tay) that is less than that of Ho Chi Minh City. https://www.citypopulation.de/Vietnam-Cities.html gives 2017 estimates of 7.4 million for the former, and 8.4 million for the latter. Although both are growing, the ratio of Ho Chi Minh City vs Hanoi (including Ha Tay) population also appears to be growing, suggesting that Hanoi is not catching up.
By populations...
% ls /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/|wc -l 144 % ls /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/|wc -l 99
Asia has around 59% of the world's population in 48 countries; the Americas have 14% in 35 countries. Seems quite possible there's scope to improve things in Asia.
