Tropico is a city-building construction and management simulation video game series created by PopTop Software. The franchise was introduced in 2001 with Tropico. With the exception of Tropico 2: Pirate Cove, the games task players to assume control of "El Presidente", a ruler who runs an island-based banana republic. He or she must construct infrastructure, draft policies, forge diplomatic relationships with other nations in the world, and keep their citizens content.
Haemimont Games led the development of three Tropico games from 2009 to 2014. Limbic Entertainment developed Tropico 6 (2019). Franchise owner Kalypso Media subsequently assigned one of its internal developers, Realmforge Studios, to develop all future content for the franchise.
