In-Game Description[edit | edit source]

Villahermosa, Spanish for "Beautiful Village," is the capital of the state of Tabasco. Originally named "Villa Carmona," the city has changed names eight times in its long history. The city's historic center is filled with colonial-era buildings that combine Gothic and Moorish styles. Villahermosa has been invaded and occupied multiple times by foreign powers, revolutionaries, and rebels over the past century and a half. Nonetheless, the city has become known for its rapid economic growth as investors seek to tap into the city's natural resources. Sugar, tobacco, hardwood, alcohol, and cigars are the city's staples, but Villahermosa's beauty and rich pre-colonial history have made it a growing tourist attraction.
