The largest province by area will be the new Lam D**g (merging Lam D**g, Dak Nong, and Binh Thuan) with over 24,200 km², while the smallest will be the new Hung Yen.
Some provinces, such as Ha Noi, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Hue, Cao Bang,... will not merge due to geographical, demographic, and national security considerations.
