Tropico is an absolute classic. Good management sim with a brilliantly humoristic side to it.

You're El Presidente, the benevolent dictator who can build schools, arrest elderly loving couples across the street... or just tax the heck out of bananas and pineapples. Guide your island through the ages, from colonial times to modern chaos, all while dodging coups, bribing superpowers, and pretending you know how an economy works. Viva El Presidente!

Tropico 5 makes dictatorship a comedy goldmine. The economy thrives mostly on exports, mainly bananas and sarcasm.

It is still fun, though I would say it isn't really better than other entries in the series. I would recommend 3 and 4 more.
