The Republic of Tropico Isla de Hierro is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by El Presidente with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, complete lack of prisons, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 20.387 billion Tropicans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santa Helena. The average income tax rate is 68.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Tropican economy, worth a remarkable 8,437 trillion Tropican Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 413,888 Tropican Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.
Much of Tropico Isla de Hierro's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, cute fluffy little El Presidentes are increasingly popular exotic pets, bailiffs must face down a fusillade of depleted uranium rounds, and El Presidente's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tropico Isla de Hierro's national animal is the Llama, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.
Tropico Isla de Hierro is ranked 469th in the world and 1st in The Anarnkhos Archipelago for Most Corrupt Governments, with 656.61 kickbacks per hour.
