Win the chance to appear in Tropico

Gathering of Developers has announced the "You Rule" contest for its upcoming island management strategy game, Tropico. The game will give players control of a small tropical island in the Caribbean. Players must manage a variety of aspects of the island's political and economic systems in order to help it grow into a thriving nation.

Participants in the You Rule contest create a dictator character by choosing his or her name, attributes, leadership style, and background story. The character could be chosen through a random drawing to appear as one of the default dictator choices in the game. To enter the contest, visit the official Tropico Web site.

For more information about Tropico, take a look at our previous coverage of the game. Tropico is scheduled for release in April.
