A Faction is a group of people that have a common political purpose in Tropico 5.
Description[]
- There are 10 different political factions in the game. Citizens may support several of them at once, but they can never support two factions with opposing views such as the Communists and the Capitalists. Factions have leaders who can be identified by your police. Beware, using a Citizen Action on a leader or their family member may change your standing with the whole faction.
When a political issue becomes relevant, citizens will split into two opposing factions depending on their views of the issue.
Every faction has a leader; a supporter of the faction who chooses to be its representative. Leaders who are happy will boost El Presidente's relationship with their faction, while unhappy leaders will lower faction relations.

Constitutional Stances[]
Certain factions will approve or disapprove of the individual constitution amendments made by El Presidente.
- In addition to their general effect, all chosen constitution principles also affect your standing with the Tropican factions and the Superpowers. For example, if you choose the "Athiest State" constitutional principle, you will be unpopular with the Religious faction but will gain standing with the Communists. Those effects may change from one era to another, so it is important to keep up with the times - while gender-based voting discrimination may be more acceptable to some factions during the World Wars, it will receive much less support from the same factions in Modern Times.
