What I did is I kept replaying the No Escape special mission. Beating the mission once will award 400,000+ pops and will not take that long for you to do it (do the mission about 5 times).

My strategy for that mission is (use a tier 4 Engineer building) to buy an engineer, upgrade it to 2|3, then buy a 2|3 mortar and aim it at the part where the entrance to the track reaches the circle thingy. Then, after buying around 3 more 2|3 engineers, get a 3|2 boomerang thrower and put it on last. Then, get it up to 4|2 and the mortar up to 2|4. After that, buy a few more 2|3 engineers. Make sure, however, to save enough money to buy a Super Monkey before round 11 (try to upgrade it to 2|2). After that, upgrade the super monkey to 3|2 and get another sun god. If prefered, you can buy another 4|2 boomerang and put it right next to the first one.

On the last level, use the mortar's ability once all of the ZOMGs are on the screen and upgrade the engineers to 2|4. Then, use their abilities on the Sun Gods to make sure that you don't lose. After that, you should be all set.

P.S. The monkey sub is awesome! The 2|0 upgrade can get you almost infinite range if you use it right. In my opinion, I think that it is too cheap and should be more expensive (the tower itself should be $500 on medium).
