What better way to expand the population than to show the courage of our convictions? Better still. Ever since these islands were settled by our founding felons, Tropicans have taken a progressive attitude towards those of morally eccentric behavior. "Tropico has many proud traditions! Take criminals, for instance. The edict runs for 5 years and has a cool down of 5 years. With an urban development fund we can make it so much cheaper to build accommodation that we can soon turn our beautiful island into smoggy cities before we even have time to think twice about why we are doing it!"ĭecreases the construction cost of all residential buildings by 50%. "As much as the people enjoy sleeping under the stars and huddling together for warmth at night in their ramshackle lean-tos, it might be worth considering some long-term plans for housing. Decreases pollution of all Workplaces by 10% Decreases the efficiency of all workplaces by 12/10/8%. Increases job quality of each workplace by 15/17/20%. With this edict you snooze you do not lose!" It is not a great recipe for productivity but it sure breaks up those long afternoons slaving away. "Work is hard, and nobody appreciates that more than you, Presidente! You've never had to do a day of hard labour in your life and you aren't about to start now! As a show of goodwill to the citizens of Tropico, a mandatory two hour siesta is to be declared after lunch. Provides 1$/2$/3$ for every citizen which takes food from relevant buildings directly. On the other hand, the bleeding hearts might be a teensy bit miffed when the poorest folks go to bed hungry - but nobody said life was easy!"įorces the citizens to pay for food. "It may be a Tropican tradition that all meals are paid for by the state, but traditions can be changed! With this edict, you can make everyone pay to eat, bringing extra cash into the treasury and making those with the means of production awfully chuffed with themselves. Decreases the efficiency of religious buildings by 15/12/10%. Visitors to religious buildings pay a fee of $1/2/3. The congregation won't be too happy - but who can resist the opportunity to turn prophets into profits?" When the Padres complains, point them to Matthew 22:21 and look smug. "The rich are always looking for a good way to make quick buck - and they've hit upon the great untaxed opportunity that is Sunday Mass. Increases the general food quality by 10/12/15%. Besides, it will be years before the detrimental health effects of chronic obesity will get noticed, right.?"Ĭitizens consume two units of food when eating. "Are you tired of lithe, svelte citizens who are all skin and bones? By doubling food rations you can make everyone happy! Well, except for the wealthy tycoons whose market economics thrive on scarcity, but everyone else will be mildly pleased at your generous gesture.
