Thailands junta has banned a computer game which allows players to craft their own military dictatorship in a fictional paradise where sunny beaches and political corruption co-exist, authorities said Tuesday. The simulation game Tropico 5 gives players the chance to build their own forms of government on a remote island. Tropico 5 has been banned but I cannot give the reason unless you ask permission from our Director-General, an unnamed official at the Video and Film Office, part of the Ministry of Culture, told AFP. Thai game distributor New Era Interactive Media said it received a letter from the Ministry of Culture on Monday banning its sale in the kingdom.
