Tropico is a real-time strategy computer game developed by PopTop Software and published by Gathering of Developers (Also known as GOD Games, now known as "The Gathering"). The game is centered around being the ruler ("El Presidente") of an island in the Caribbean during the Cold War era from the 1950s to 1970s. Games based on Caribbean city-building have been created before, but Tropico was the first to be centered on a Cuban Revolution/Cold War theme. The game has serious themes, such as totalitarianism, electoral fraud, iron-handed rule, and the interventions of powerful companies and nations (the United States and Soviet Union); this is contrasted with a playful sense of humor in the form of parody, for example, its manual references the All Your Base phenomenon.
Game features include micromanaging citizens with individual needs and families. All the decisions you make directly involve the people. You try to stay in power and appease the populace as long as possible by providing education, entertainment, food, and an individual job to each person. Different factions have a different opinion of you. If the populace is not pleased, it may rebel or vote you out.
Tropico has several expansion packs and new editions, including Tropico: Paradise Island, a combined copy of original and Paradise Island entitled Tropico: Mucho Macho Edition, and a sequel Pirate Cove.
