The Game II
| BANANA
REPUBLIC.
A small nation. Somewhere.
Nestling between the mountains and the sea. Consisting of six provinces,
each with a unique topography, character and culture. And each with its own REBEL
LEADER, consumed and driven by ambition.
A
country struggling for unity after a long and peacefully ignominious
colonial past, but, more often than not, torn apart by ethnic
differences and personal ambition. Not to mention its neighbours,
sometimes meddling in its affairs, and sometimes being manipulated and
bullied by the Republic’s leaders.
|
What
Banana Republic
Is All About
|
At the start of the game each player is the
REBEL LEADER of
one of the provinces.
|
|
THE POLITICS |
Invariably chaotic. Each province has its own REBEL LEADER, jockeying for power. The Prize: The Presidency!
At the centre is THE PRESIDENT in his palace, attempting to hang on to power!
His aim, and therefore the ultimate aim of each of the REBEL LEADERS: to become |
|
|
PRESIDENT FOR LIFE!
|
|
THE
MEANS: |
Recruit
soldiers, and arm them for those inevitable
ARMED
CHALLENGES.
|
|
Perform
public works programs such as building roads, schools, hospitals etc.
with the sole aim of buying …sorry… gathering voters for the
occasional
ELECTIONS.
