* BannedInChina: The 5th game has gotten notoriety for being [[http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/08/05/bangkokblocked_thailand_turns_away_tropico_5/ banned in Thailand due to it hitting too close to home with the military junta that has seized control of the country]]. The first four games and ''6'' remain unbanned however.
* The Going Viral DLC in Tropico 6 was funded in part by the German government, as part of an economics stimulus package. The sympol of the German economics program can even be seen on the Going Viral campaign mission select screen.
