Tropico 3 is being developed by the top development team, Haemimont Games - also known for Imperium Romanum and GRAND AGES: ROME.

All three titles are published by Kalypso Media. The storyline of Tropico 3 follows-up the first Tropico of the series.

Player will again be able to play the role of 'El Presidente' taking over the control of a tropical island. You decide whether you want to use your army to secure your power base in the best traditions of corrupt, unscrupulous tyrants everywhere, or alternatively to lead your people to prosperity in your role as generous elder statesman.

Danger lurks on every corner. There are militant rebels planning a Coup d'etat for a communistic Junta, while in the background there are two lurking superpowers, the USA and the Soviet Union, who would perhaps prefer a more pliable president in the strategically important island of Tropico!
