Special Update 03

Terrible news, people of the world! Our Great Leader believes that someone may be after him, and for once he may actually be right!


Once again, there are several options which you, the people of the world, must choose from. First, El Presidente can hire a better assassin. This costs money that Tropico can easily spare for its most important citizen, but nothing can be learned from a dead assassin. Second, El Presidente can have the suspected assassin captured and "interrogated." Going public with what we learn from the assassin will likely embarass the country who sent him, although the local faction which opposes them will like El Presidente more for being honest [Also, keep in mind that relations are currently a perfect 100 for Capitalists and ~80 for the USSR]. Finally, El Presidente can hide inside his palace (where he cannot visit any buildings) for the next six months or so, when the assassin will probably become bored and leave.

El Presidente also says there is a "third option" once again. Mr. Pizzaman must know more about numbers than Juanito. He says that he can confront the assassin personally to take him down with his bare hands. This will impress all the factions if things go well, but if they do not, he will probably have to hide in the palace after all.
