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.
