Most people are left over from the colonial era, generally pirates and who gambled and drank away their money and couldn't afford a ticket off the island. Since our income largely depends on these last three items, we foresee no problems with the current population boom and degradation of arable land. Exports include shoddily judiciously packed canned goods, ungrateful refugees, fast and agile political prisoners, and any bananas, pineapples, and rum not already consumed. These also serve as the main staple in the diets of Tropicans. The Tropican economy is a straightforward system primarily based on bananas, pineapples, and rum, where 13 bananas is 1 pineapple (except on tuesday pineapple specials), and 11 pineapples are worth 1 and a half bottles of rum, give or take. Hopefully this will keep us clear of international politics. We are close enough to get Yanqui tourists from America and also to base tactical and medium-range nuclear warheads for the Soviets. The island is located in the Gulf of Honduras, which is way too far away to run off to America. If you come to Tropico, even you can walk on water! Geography Foreign aid money is often sent in an attempt to bribe us into an alliance with them. The island maintains steady relations with both the Soviet Union and the United States. We can't have El Presidente sleeping on leaves after he is gone can we? That's why we must do it instead. His retirement home has not been decided yet(he is still mulling over rowboat options), but he has greatly assisted the citizens of Tropico in making generous donations to the El Presidente Charity in a Swiss Bank for that reason. His palace is the most beautiful building on the island and will remain so indefinitely as all competition is subject to redevelopment into "El Presidente appreciation zones". El Presidente likes to spend money on beautification projects, especially erecting many statues of Tropico's national hero, himself. The rebels are usually citizens who do not understand or appreciate his greatness, and thus they often run off to the woods, only to be slaughtered liberated by El Presidente's loyal soldiers. Instead of regular elections, annual coup d'etats are used to decide whether El Presidente will remain in power and this has become the islands national sport sponsored by both the CIA and KGB. As a result, the island has been under his enlightened rule for 50 glorious years. There are no elections, because the minions citizens like him so much, they feel no need to compete with him. The Very Democratic Republic of Tropico is run under a very enlightened dictatorship. When the airport was finished after forty years of intermittent and incompetent construction dedicated skilled labor, tourism boosted the economy greatly. This process slowed by construction delays due to the fact that by the time the workers had finally trudged their way to the opposite side of the island, it was time to go back home for a siesta. It took until the 1950s that El Presidente started the first new modernization project on the island, rebuilding new farms and renamed new schools. Under the Spanish, the island was a (tropical) backwater, filled with unescaped slaves, merchants and pirates who were too drunk to leave. This era didn't last long after the Pirate "Sid Meier" managed to sack the town and turn it over to Spanish rule. He is the best leader that the tropical island has seen since after he first took office and with recent advances in zombification rejuvenation technology, it will stay that way.įor many years, the island was a pirate haven, specifically for pirates dealing in silk, feathers, kittens, and other soft-wares. Despite the fact that his tropical peoples despite their universal love for him call for an election every five tropical years, he has managed to pass every single one, resorting to tropical fraud only twice (110% is downright unappreciative) and assassination of the opposing candidate once who died of natural causes. The tropical scenery and fresh tropical air are enough to make even the most money-laden Yanquis that happen to stumble into our houses of ill repute think they are in tropical heaven! To make matters wor- better, this tropical island is led by our wonderful tropical leader who we affectionately call, "El Presidente." Under his tropical leadership, Tropico has been a hot spot for tropical tourism, tropical agriculture and basic tropical industries for the last few tropical decades since he came to power. Warm tropical air blows in from the east, bringing in tropical rainfall and fresh tropical air. The tropical climate here is usually tropical. Tropico is a pristine, beautiful tropical island located in the tropics near Banana Republic. Lol wut? Pirates:1776, Spain:1932, Previous Administration:1950
