The Soviet Union supported Ho Chi Minh in his push for Vietnamese independence. China supported him as well.
Supported not allied. Ho Chi Minh was trying to rid his nation from the "yoke" of European powers; had he allied himself to them...that yoke would have remained. Ho was supported by Warsaw Pact nations, Red China, and the Soviet Union.
The Satellite nations were the nations supported by the soviet Union.
I don't think there was a state with exactly 48 counties that joined the Union. West Virginia with 55 counties broke off from Virginia and joined the Union. 28 counties in Tennessee, mostly in the eastern part of the state supported the Union. Various counties in other Confederate states where plantations did not dominate the economy also supported the Union or at least felt opposed to secession.
Germany is an independent country. It is part of the European Union.
