Perfect. Thank you ^^
After this game f***ed up my savegame multiple times, I really appreciate quick solutions like this, so that I can ditch it as fast as possible. +1

All factions were 100 except the globalists, so I needed to change my constitution from "plutocracy" to "free market" and then they were all 100 and it popped. Great guide!

Worked like a charm. Almost right away hit 100%. I personally used a combination of small & big gardens. I guess a certain (way lower) number is needed to please the faction. The main concern seems to keep it green within the area built.

Or this way taken from the Xbox 360 guide. Not my own, but I liked it better. No credit here.

Start a sandbox game on Isla de Tucan, Modern Times, Population 50, Money Unlimited, 2x Very low, 4x none.

Then follow these steps:
1. Quick build a single Power Plant and plenty of streets
2. Pause game time
3. Quick Build 20 Office Buildings -> Capitalists + Globalists = 100
4. Quick Build 3 Cathedrals -> Religious = 100
5. Quick Build 4 Barracks -> Militarists = 100
6. Quick Build 30 Apartments -> Communists = 100
7. Quick Build 6 Cigar Factories -> Industrialists = 95
8. Quick Build Space Program and Nuclear Program -> Nationalists 95
9. Quick Build lots and lots of large gardens -> Environmentalists 100
10. Unpause game time
11. After a short period, the achievement unlocks

I personally went above and beyond the recommendations b/c why not? Anyway, I didn't try the other solution I just went with what I knew worked. Credit goes to: Greylancer

Does not work as listed. Had to amend the Constitution, build more buildings, and bribe many people to appease the last 3 factions.
