| Edicts :: People, Foreign Policy, Economic, Political / Religious, Social |
| Amnesty | |
| Cost :: $500 Duration :: 3 years Requirements :: Armory Military Faction: Cordial or Better | It has been said that some of those who are fighting against you as rebels might put down their arms peacefully, if given a chance for amnesty. Of course, if a rebel still thinks conditions in the country are awful, he will not do so. But if you think the conditions on Tropico have improved and you’d like to give rebels a second chance, you might consider offering an amnesty. Chance of rebels returning is increased by four-fold. Note that Overall Happiness has to have improved by at least 5% since they became a rebel before a rebel will consider returning. |
| Early Elections | |
| Cost :: $2,000 Duration :: Instant Requirements :: Can only be issued 2 years after last Election | If you feel your political position is strong now, but may get weaker later, you may wish to hold early elections. If you don’t declare elections on your own, your people will ask for elections 5 to 10 years after you gain power, and every 5 to 10 years thereafter. (You can deny their request if you wish). If you hold elections and win, you will reduce the likelihood of a coup, uprising, or rebellion. If you lose… hopefully you’ve got something tucked away in Switzerland. Calls for election 1 year after issuing the edict |
| Book BBQ | |
| Cost :: $500 Duration :: Permanent (May be cancelled) Requirements :: Church Religious Faction: Cool or Better | Presidente, there are so many intellectuals on Tropico with their noses buried in books… They think they are smarter than you!!! By starting a policy of systematic book burning, the intellectual faction will be intimidated – about half of those now claiming to be intellectuals will drop out of the faction altogether. Unfortunately, this intellectual intimidation will have a downside – education in schools and skills learning on-the-job will slow dramatically, to half their normal rates. Decreases size of Intellectual Faction by 50%, Education rates -50% |
| Martial Law | |
| Cost :: $5,000 Duration :: Permanent (May be cancelled) Requirements :: Military Faction: Cordial or Better | Martial law is the most drastic action a leader can take to control the people. With martial law in effect, the chances of an individual starting or joining a rebellion or uprising drop drastically. Crime falls as well. However, economic productivity slows down somewhat and tourism and liberty fall dramatically. You are still vulnerable to a coup or invasion, and martial law won’t stop those who’ve already joined an uprising or rebellion. Greatly decreases chance of protests and uprisings, no effect on coups or rebels, Crime Rate -40%, Productivity -20%, Liberty -50%, Tourism -50% |
| Inquisition | |
| Cost :: $500 Duration :: Permanent (May be cancelled) Requirements :: Cathedral Religious Faction: Cordial or Better | Infidels, infidels, everywhere!!! It has even been reported that some of these infidels have been threatening your regime. By starting an inquisition, we can discredit your opposition and significantly lower the chance of a coup or uprising. We might see some of the infidels joining the rebels in the woods – an inquisition can’t do anything about that. Unfortunately, liberty and tourism will fall significantly. Also, your people will be much more scrupulous about their religious observances – visiting churches and cathedrals twice as often as before. Significantly reduces chance of protests or uprisings, slightly reduces chance of coup, slightly increases chance of rebels, Liberty -25%, Tourism -25%, Citizens visit church twice as often |
| Open the Jails | |
| Cost :: $3,000 Duration :: Instant (U.S. effect lasts for 4 years) Requirements :: Prison One Time Only | One of the most effective ways to deal with a problem is to make it somebody else’s problem. We can empty our jails all at once and get rid of these troublemakers by sending them to Florida. The downside is that this will cause a small injury to our relations with the U.S. Prisoners -100%, U.S. Relations -10% (4-years) |
| Papal Visit | |
| Cost :: $10,000 Duration :: 3 years Requirements :: Cathedral Religious Faction: Cordial or Better One Time Only |
What could bring more joy to our people than a visit by His Holiness?Such a visit would lead to increased respect for you by all, especially the religious faction. Pro-religious sentiment would grow – increasing the size of the religious faction. Finally, the people’s perceived religious quality would increase significantly. All in all, this would cause an all around boost to spirits on Tropico. Religious Faction +50%, All other factions +15%, Religious Happiness +25% |
