"It begins in the Caribbean with clear warm water lapping at a crystalline shoreline, palm trees swaying in the wind. A new nation will be built from the ground up. Buildings must be constructed, people must be given the basics of survival and someone has to make the decisions affecting everything from tourism to the very happiness of the populace itself.
"That person is El Presidente, an ageless, undying ruler of a small banana republic nation. That person is you."
