Game Description
Elections? We don't need no stinking elections! Through devious deeds, you've just become the leader of a small, strategically-important island nation. Now that you're El Presidente, decide how to use your power in this Cold War era sim. Explore your island home, giving speeches to your people and muscling political opponents.

You'll experience events straight out of history as you fend off would-be revolutionaries and jostle with superpower nations who desperately want to get you out of office.
