That would be awful. Florida is the #1 US State. You can't HAVE the US without Florida. It just plain doesn't work.
And we could never decide who to vote for

Then you can't be Ft.Meyers if I give the US Florida

Wouldn't that have affected the Spanish-American War, the Philippines, all of World War 2 and-
Nevermind.

The Founding Fathers managed quite well without Florida, I believe.
Well, we didn't even have Lee County back then. We've advanced since then
Oh you were talking about a different game? Nevermind then, keep it as it.

Here's the unit listing. The general pattern is that a unit generally receives bonuses against units in its class a tier or more below it and receives massive bonuses against the counter class. Tier 5 units, in decent conditions, can instant-kill lower Tier-1 and Tier-2 units. Artillery may need to be balanced out a bit.
Infantry: Counters Artillery. Requires $5 each. $2 maintenance.
(Infantry are very hard to kill with simple artillery strikes but can't stand up to Armor).
Armor: Counters Infantry. Requires $7 each. $3 maintenance.
(Armor can punch holes through infantry lines but crumple under artillery bombardment).
Artillery: Counters Armor. Requires $9 each. $4 maintenance.
(Artillery get one free strike before their actual combat round. Because of this, they're the bane of existence to Armor. If the artillery fires into a city, it'll kill a pop).
Second Tier
Motorized Infantry: Counters SPGs. Costs $7 each. $3 maintenance
(Motorized Infantry is faster than foot infantry and can carry more in the way of firepower)
Heavy Armor: Counters Motorized Infantry. Requires $9. $4 maintenance.
(Heavy Armor have thicker skin against Artillery and pretty much chew through infantry.)
Self-Propelled Guns: Counters Heavy Tanks. $11. $5 maintenance.
(SPGs fire two free shots before actual combat)
Third Tier
Mechanized Infantry. Counters Rocket Artillery. $9. $4 maintenance.
(Mechanized Infantry is even faster and has enough firepower to fight Armor to a standstill)
Modern Armor. Counters Mech Infantry. $11. $5 maintenance.
Rocket Artillery. Counters Modern Armor. $13. $6 maintenance.
(Three free strikes)
Fourth Tier
Powered-Armor Infantry: Counters Mechs. $11. $5 maintenance.
Mechs: Counters PAFs: $13. $6 maintenance.
Ultra-Artillery: Counters Mechs. $15. $7 maintenance.
(Four free strikes)
Final Tier:
Supersoldiers: Counter Artillery class. $17 IPs. $8 maintenance.
Frames: Counters Infantry Class. $19 each. $9 maintenance.
Artillery Platform: Counters Armor class. $21. $10 maintenance.
(Five free strikes)

20-50 years after the Third Revolution. So 2000-2030.
The last one hit pretty hard.
The combat system is rock-paper-scissors. The attacker (and defender, if fearing for defense) should PM me their "battle lineups") which would be the order they want their units to defend/attack.
For instance: A guy who attacks a nation with Armor/Artillery/Infantry as the lineup is going to have problems if the target's lineup was Artillery/Infantry/Armor. Once tiers get involved, the players should probably tell me if they want their attacks/defense to take place from highest tier to lowest tier or what. I'll save the doctrines and use that as the player's default until they change it.
Otherwise, I'll randomize the orders.
Of course. What would a game of Tropico be without my glorious Empire of the Caribbean Sun to liven things up?

Im not going to allow the Math Republic, he may be the president and stuff and it may be called The Math Republic of X (Like the Bolivarian republic of Venezuela)
I think I should allow Corporations, it would be fun to have them and its a bunch of Islands, offshore banking and many Corporations actually by islands so I think they're okay

What would RIOT be without nuclear weapons? I added two tiers with the final tier, suitcase nukes, possibly being the weapon that makes players nervous. SRBMs, IRBMs, ICBMs, and X-Bombs requires the nation to be at DEFCON 1 to launch. When they're launch, it's no secret where they're launched from.
Suitcase nukes avert that. You can give irregulars in an enemy country these and they'll use it eventually and it won't be traced back to you in-game. How many of your population/troops survive is dependent on your DEFCON levels. Since going to DEFCON 1 will make other nations a little jumpy, they're slowly make their way to DEFCON 3 or 2 to mitigate effects of a possible nuclear war. A suitcase nuke detonated in a DEFCON 5 nation is terrible.
You'll also notice that the first two tier of weapons have ranges. Balance reasons. Mostly because it opens up for interesting Cuban Missile Crisis situations.
Program Minimum Cost: $140 for first tier. $280 for second. $560 for third. $1020 for Fourth. $2040 for Final.
First Tier: Short-Range Ballistic Missiles. Cost $10. Range: 105 pixels. These can be used for softening up defenses.
Second Tier: Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles. Cost $20. Range: 125 pixels. Five or six of these can level a large city.
Third Tier: ICBM. Can strike anywhere. Cost $40. A couple of these can level a city.
Fourth Tier: X-Bomb. Cost $80 Can strike anywhere. Ultra-devastating. Depopulation weapon.
Final Tier: Suitcase Nukes. Cost $15. DANGEROUS weapons. You can give them to irregulars who will detonate them in a city. The explosion is as small as a SRBM but devastating none the less. Causes the RR to drastically increase.
