Bounty: A Tropical Story

[Tamijo 2,036]

September 2052

The construction of the new nuclear plant finished. The plant is located near the coast at the edge of South Plains on Cepero Islands, using reactors cooled with water from D’Angelo Sea. Some protesters claim a location like this is very dangerous, recalling the Fukushima nuclear accident in March 2011. The authorities claim that it is much safer with the modern technology we have today, but do not provide conclusive evidence that this should be the case. The old nuclear plant in North District slowly dismisses employees, just keeping enough to avoid power cuts, while the new plant is awaiting supply deliveries.

Talal & Alicja Ahmed, October 2052

Talal Ahmed was born in March 2020, in his parent’s colonial style house at Monica Roux Residential Area. Soon after his father Kaamran, a gangster and drug dealer working within the Loyal to Familia organization, relocated the family to a large apartment in Mountain Village for security reasons. Talal got a younger brother Zakaria in 2027, but he died from a tropical fever in 2031. In his late teens the family moved to a penthouse apartment in President Purple Villa, his father was now a quite high-ranking member of the Familia. Talal met Olivia Onley from Kelso, southern Scotland, while studying at President Smirnov’s School. Talal got a job at Ramos Construction and rented a small apartment in Ruiz Tower, living with Olivia from 2039, she was still at Bounty University at the time. After Olivia’s graduation in the early 40’s she got job as junior doctor at Bounty City Hospital and the couple moved to a modern mansion at Coconut Road. Olivia’s ranked up at the hospital and in the mid 40’s the couple rented the lower floor of Dr. Sofia Pellegrin’s famous mansion, one of the most expensive addresses in the city. Despite being qualified for a better job Talal started working as waiter at The Donkey Mansion. Maybe due to his unusual upbringing, son of a gangster and a former prostitute, Talal was drinking a lot in this period. In the beginning of the 2050’s Talal’s drinking got to the point where Olivia demanded that he went to rehab or she would leave him. Talal was detoxicated at La Casa Nuestra Señora, Talal got a job as firefighter and temporarily the family moved to a cheap apartment in Mountain Village, to get far away from the friends at Donkey Mansion. 

After work, Olivia Onley had lunch with a friend at the Yate Club, now walking in Ruiz City, to lay of some calories

 

The mother of Talal, Alicja Ahmed was born in Leningrad 1985, in what was then The Soviet Union. She grew up in a very poor family, in the chaos of post-soviet era, she ended up hustling and prostituting herself. Just 17-year-old she followed a diplomat on his journey to Bounty Island, he got tired of her and did not bring her with him, when he returned to Russia. Soon, she got involved with gangsters from Loyal to Familia. In 2017 she met Talal’s father Kaamran, they married when she got pregnant in 2019. Last time we heard from her in 2042, they lived in the penthouse apartment at President Purple Villa. In 2050 they chose to move to a little bit less busy area, buying a house at Cattle Road East, costing them 883 coins, a fair price in this fine neighborhood. Where they lived together until Kaamran was killed by a police officer, last month.

Professor Sergei Kamiński from University Research Laboratory stated in an interview at TV1 City, that he approves of the initiative, but believe the root of the problem is in the filthy and often poor neighborhoods. Suggesting a garbage handling system.      

The military task force, created in 2050, fighting organized crime it now fully integrated in the police effort. All the military camps, has personnel taking part in the hunt for criminals. Some artists and intellectuals have claimed that it’s a dangerous path, but most people don’t care as long as it works and more police is more police regardless the color of the uniform.

Important Families: Schubert 

The Schubert family history was quite short, never the less the family made a lasting imprint on Bounty Island, most visible with the long Schubert Bridge connecting Cepero Industrial Zone with Ruiz Island.

Dirk Schubert was born 1898 in Stuttgart, Imperial Germany. Son of locksmith Theodor and his wife Elisabeth. Dirk was a bright child and with the help of relatives was able to attend Hohenheim College, at the time a famous academy of agriculture and forestry. He married Heike and the couple was hired by local landowners to help with modernizing the crops and livestock production. Heike Helena Kleienböck, born 1897, was the daughter of a peasant from Feuerbach, located some 7 km north of Stuttgart. The couple married after Heike got pregnant, Frank Schubert was born in 1922. In the 1930’s the Schubert family fled Germany, due to raising nationalism and ended on Bounty Islands. Dirk was hired by the Export Department, Heike worked with quality control at Bounty Cigar's Limited, at the same time they invested in several plantations, most notably they bought the two tobacco plantations located at Cepero Island, becoming one of the wealthier families at Bounty Islands. The son Frank met a local girl named Vera in the early 1940’s, they married in 1946, after the birth of their son Dirk Schubert Jr.     

Dirk Schubert February 1939  

 

After being a huge tobacco producer for years, Heike and Dirk Schubert decided to start their own cigar production in 1948. Building the Schubert Cigar’s Factory on Cepero Islands, the first factory in what was to become Cepero Industrial Zone. In the winter 1953/54, their company, at the time named Schubert Corporation, constructed Schubert Bridge, a gift to the state connecting Cattle Road District with northeast Cepero Island. In July 1954 they opened a food factory at Cepero Island, Schubert Processed Food. With many Russian peasants coming to Bounty Island in the 1950’s, Heike dropped her first name, calling herself Helena Schubert. In 1962 the Schubert Family was one of the larger investors behind the formation of M. Leroy JV. Heike Helena Schubert born Kleienböck, died in 1964. Dirk Schubert passed away in 1970, 72 years old. 

Schubert Bridge 1967

Frank Schubert born 1922 in Stuttgart, the Weimar Republic, also known as the German Reich, became chairman of the board at Shubert Holdings in 1970, after the death of his father. His wife Vera Schubert was also member of the board. Their is no doubt in the mind of modern historians, that the factual leader of the company was Vera, Frank was an old fashion militaristic leader type, whereas Vera was a visionary and very clever woman. They lived in a house at Jungle Road, to be close to their manufacturing plants. In 1971 Schubert Holding and M. Leroy JV formed S/L Shipping, constructing South Industrial Harbor and buying two transport compagnies. The Schubert family bought a nickel mine in south district a few years later. In 1977 the company opened a pig ranch at what was then Long Connector Street in Cattle Road District. Now also entering the fresh food market. Dirk Schubert Jr. was a playboy, not taking interest in the company, he died in 1979 from an overdose of alcohol and drugs. There was no heir left in the family.         

Frank Schubert in Bounty City, October 1978

Frank Schubert died in 1988, 66 years old. Vera Schubert, now the only family member left and the solo owner of the company, added director of Cepero Power Luuk De Vries and Council Member from Cepero Town Alba Van de Berg, to the board of directors. Vera and Alba had a lasting affair, only known to Alba’s husband Finn Van de Berg, who accepted his wife’s attraction towards women. Vera bequeathed Schubert Holdings to Alba and Finn Van de Berg, partly due to her personal relation with the family, but also because she believed Alba would be the right person for the job. Vera died in 1990. At this point Shubert Holdings was behind Schubert Cigar Factory, Schubert Processed Food, two tobacco plantations, Shubert Pork Ranch and Schubert Nickel Mine. 35% of M. Leroy Firearms JV, 35% of M. Leroy Steel JV, 67,5% of South Industrial Harbor and 67.5% of S/L Shipping.

Epilogue:

Alba Van de Berg was chairman of Schubert Holdings, until her death in April 2022. Finn Van de Berg already a well-known painter and film maker at the time, was never interested in running Shubert Holdings, he’s focus was intellectual and creative, not interested in shares and profit. As soon as Alba was gone, he sold the company to American investors. During the leadership of Alba Van de Berg, Schubert Holdings sold the nickel mine to M. Leroy JV in 2006 and opened the brewery in 2014. After Schubert Holdings was sold to foreign investors, they started harvesting coconut in South Jungle from late 2022. Schubert Cigars was closed down in 2031, due to restrictions of tobacco production. In April 2035, an improved vacuum packing system, was introduced at Schubert Processed Food. Allowing packed fresh meat to have enough durability for long distance export. In 2036 the company opened Tropicolate, a sweets and chocolate factory. The same year, the company’s production facilities was rebranded to SPF, with daughter companies, SPF Processed Food, SPF Brewery and SPF Tropicolate.

It's interesting to see that Tropico 6 has finally done away with gender-specific jobs. I noticed it in your previous entries as well - female soldiers, policewomen, doctors etc. Unless this is a mod (there was one for Tropico 4).
