Rise to Power: Banana Republic

About the Game

Welcome to Isla Paraíso, 2025

After fifty years of dictatorship, “El Generalísimo” is dead.

For the first time in its history, the Caribbean island of Isla Paraíso opens up to democracy: independent parties, institutions, foundations and media are born. And most importantly... the first free elections.

Take on the role of an ordinary citizen, without power or allies, but with great ambitions. Build your political career from the ground up, forge alliances, lead parties, influence public opinion, manipulate the media, control institutions and meet the challenges of a society in transition. Every choice has consequences: you can become a democratic reformist, a technocrat, a lobby puppet or a new despot. There are no right or wrong paths, only your decisions and their repercussions.

Multiple roles available

Choose and play different roles: governor, secretary, deputy, director or school counselor. Each career offers unique powers, responsibilities and possibilities to influence the society and institutions of Isla Paraíso.

Manage economy

Manage public budgets, change laws, manage institutions and consultancy. Shape the State in your image and likeness.

Plots and politics

Participates in electoral campaigns, parliamentary votes, reforms and power games. Manipulate public opinion, forge alliances, deal with scandals and coups in a dynamic and deeply simulated political system.

Write the storyline

Start as a simple citizen and build your rise. Every choice, alliance and betrayal influences your reputation and the fate of Isla Paraíso. There are no predefined paths: you write the story, day after day.
