Rather than Tropico's roughly contemporary Fidel Castro setting, Tropico 2 steps back to the 17th Century, but maintains the same rough geographical location, being set in a pirate-filled Caribbean Sea. This time, it's developed by Frog City Games (the people behind the Imperialism games). Praised widely for its characterful presentation and fantastic Lou Bega soundtrack, it has now thankfully spawned a sequel. About two years ago, Poptop Software released a quirky banana republic management game called Tropico.
