Cuba Libre is a Young Adult ScienceFiction novel (still in its planning/editing/writing stage) in diary format by Tropers/MorwenEdhelwen. As the title can tell you, it's set in {{Cuba}}, TwentyMinutesInTheFuture. Cuba is now ruled by a military dictatorship. TheSyndicate have managed to effectively take over the country, which is ruled by a succession of generals who make drugs, covert banking, and smuggling legal. Due to this, Cuba has a thriving economy under the powerful and charismatic General Cabrera, a member of the New Revolutionary Council who has been elected for two successive terms in the last 20 years.
