![]() Yes, El Presidente is the reason why Tropico has its deserved place in the sun. Whether it was the providence of God himself, or the best laid plans of mice and men, but someone had to take the mantle and save Tropico from itself and others. Who could save Tropico now from its doom? How can we not forget the other bizarre disasters like the Llama Stampede of ’52, the discovery of R’lyeh by our bathysphere divers? What about when the Loas manifested themselves into existence when our voodoo shaman died? Or that Isla Anita was actually called Aeonita and had led to the discovery of the psychic toucans that were guardians of a Deep One settlement?Īll hope seemed lost, the people cried out to the heavens in vain while the world watched both amusement and pity. Who could forget the Year of Revolutions? Or the numerous coups and counter coups from pissed-off revolutionaries, meddling foreign powers, hungry corporations, the “well-meaning” UN, unpaid soldiers and psychic toucans? Their demands were enough to drive any politico insane. As for the military, bless their simple minds, just wanted to have lots and lots of the newest and shiniest hardware to fight the rebels and look important. The nationalists just wanted to build a wall and let those stinking immigrants stay on the other side. As long as there were profits nothing was wrong in the world.

We too, are no strangers to civil strife and factionalism that had been rife in our beloved country. We had suffered nature’s wrath, from the hated drought to the feared tsunamis that had visited our archipelago on a regular basis. We had suffered the ministrations of the Americanos and later the Russians, intent on using us a chess pieces in their game. It has endured all manners of malady and disasters that would have made this island nation be dragged down to the depths of unrecoverable poverty and ignobility like any other Third World country.
