Defense is an environmental aura in Tropico 2 which forms part of the happiness values for pirates on the island. Captives are not affected by Defense, so buildings and decor which emanate Defense may be placed safely anywhere in the island, though placing them in captive-only areas (unless an Overseer or Guard is present) is generally wasteful.
