This will basically turn them into normal civilians without making your people mad and you won't lose population.Īnother bonus on democracy is cheating. Build a supermax prison and arrest rebels before you kill them if you can. Make sure your military is the one all the way on the bottom of the constitution list because this military is really strong and it's like the US military so rebels are gone faster and people aren't mad. Then when a protest happens, you can figure out what they want. Make sure people can protest, or they'll riot instead. People won't uprise then, or even make coups, so the only thing you worry about is rebels. Honestly, I suggest you make democracy a thing. But having a democracy is the hardest way to keep your Island happy to win elections. Others suggestion having a democracy when you enter the modern era. I've seen some people suggest not having Plutocracy - any source of Swiss bank revenue is increased by 20%, in your constitution as well. Amnesty does work, It may not lower the rebel numbers significantly, but it should lower the threat of rebel attacks.

You can try 'social engineering' which takes time, and the 'smear campaign' can help as well trying to balance factions out. Also change around your Constitution so your not completely favoring 1 faction over the other, which I personally have never perfected. Which is ironically what makes Tropico actually very realistic.įirst, stop banishing Rebels or Rebel leaders, all that's going to do is cause an uprising, you need to bribe the rebels instead. Whatever you do in Tropico 5 is going you make you side with 1 faction or another, you'll never reach any sort of utopia, which to lead to Rebels and Rebel leaders in 1 form or another.
