Militarists

One of the most powerful factions on Tropico. This faction often has one of the most numerous supporters. Low relationship with the Militarists may trigger a military coup. It is advisable to monitor their status from the beginning and satisfy their needs early. As they dislike having less military than rebels, and both rebel attacks and coups may kill off most soldiers, it is easy to fall into a vicious loop where it is almost impossible to increase relation with them. Even rising their salary to the maximum may not suffice to win over their loyalties if there is a shortage of adequate housing.
