Call it what you will, but incentives are what get people to work harder.
- Nikita KhruschevWith the cultists defeated, I can go back to work oppressing all the little people.
Average wages in the Caribbean have increased, but average wages in Tropico have not. This has been a major source of civil unrest for some time.
With that in mind, the minimum wage within Tropico has been increased to six pesos.
Our immigration policy has changed slightly. You know the local government has jumped the shark when it tries to keep people from leaving…
Our education policies have also changed…
General wisdom among dictators is that there are no problems that cannot be solved with enough bullets. Thus, I order the construction of a munitions factory.
Argh! These dockworkers. New policy. Dockworker wages will be increased when a freighter is coming in, and decreased once the freighter leaves.
As it turns out, now is a very good time to test that policy, and the policy works!
The future of our children is important, don’t you think?
I actually listen to my advisors from time to time! They see things differently from me, which can sometimes be an advantage.
They suggested that building a Cabaret will help greatly in keeping my minions happy. They also suggested that building a road will allow food supplies to reach the dock, which proved to be incorrect, but also wasn’t exactly a disaster either.
So, here you go guys. Much better of a reward for your services then any fancy metal, won’t you agree?
I really need to look into fattening the island’s “Special” Bank Account.
Whoa wha wha wha, what is this “Wiretapping” technology you speak of? I demand to be informed of these types of things as they become available. Seriously, you guys should know by now that I never shoot the messenger.
I mean, really. Somehow the existence of this edict has escaped my attention until now.
Wiretapping, you say? Great idea! I don’t trust my population. Why, anyone could turn out to be a terrorist. Trust no one, not even yourself.
To help solve the pollution problems on the island, I ordered the construction of a garbage dump. However, even after it is built, it will be a while before it takes effect, as the garbagemen will be spending most of their time collecting new trash rather then picking up existing trash.
It appears that some citizens are misinformed about our new pipe factory.
And, thus ends another year. I have this report on my desk marked as ‘Priority’. Hmm…
All citizens are hereby required to fill out their annual census forms. They will soon receive a form that details their personal lives (we see everything!), as well as a list of currently available jobs.
