Tropico 4’s island paradise won’t tax your PC

Even PC owners with fairly old system specs will be able to handle the island economy/dictatorship sim Tropico 4.
Publisher Kalypso has sent through the refreshingly un-taxing requirements, which you can read below:

Much like Tropico 3, this fourth installment will see you take the role of El Presidente, glorious (and possibly unelected) ruler of a small island nation. New features, like the ability to elect a council of ministers, are promised. But I strongly suspect the aim of the game will remain the same: fill your secret Swiss bank account with as much ill-gotten loot as possible.
Tropico 4 will be released for both PC and Xbox 360 on 26 August in the UK and 1 September in the US.
