November ’61
The saltmine is complete. Soon we can start exporting this and hopefully raking in the money hand over fist. I’m not sure what that means, but someone said it and it sounds good.

With the newspaper in full swing, the next step is Radio! Invisible Airwaves of the future. Or so they tell me. They’ve built it right next to the palace so I can hear it better… I don’t think that’s how it works, but we’ve only just appointed a minister of education so and I don’t want to burden her with silly questions so soon. With all of these improvements, surely it won’t be long before all of the protests stop.

And our first “real” record, most rum drunk! Thanks to religion, we have achieved a dubious honor, but it is an honor indisputably. Building both churches right next to the distillery was genius.

And now Tropico has Television. I’m not sure how much good it’ll do, but every little bit of publicity helps. Besides, the more cameras we have focused on every achievement, the harder it’ll be for the bitch from the UN to denounce our achievements as fraudulent.

I’ll let Penultimo’s report speak for itself; Noelia Chavez, our minster of economy, is a genius.
December ’64
The college is done. Once we hire a few professors we can stop having to hire educated folks from off the island. A new age of knowledge dawns.

That refrigerator sale is hilarious, nice one. (this game has some great writers lol) I am also amused if perplexed by the rum record! What does that have to do with church, aside from being next door? Certainly an innovative promotional approach for both institutions.
I’m not sure if this is a reference to something, or if the writers just thought it’d be funny to make me build two churches near a rum distillery.
Well that’s hilarious. 😀 Quite a quaint vernacular spin on sacramental libation…
