In the tropicalization of a linear order, a ≥ b if and only if
a+b = b.
The tropical semiring is an m-semiring. The natural order of the
semiring is the reverse of the usual order. The monus a-b is defined as
⊤ if a≥b (for the usual order, not the natural semiring order), and
as a otherwise.

The tropical semiring over ℕ ∪ {∞} is a semiring with monus.
The tropical semiring over ℚ ∪ {∞} is a semiring with monus.
The tropical semiring over ℝ ∪ {∞} is a semiring with monus. Note
that this contradicts Geerts & Poggi, On database query languages for
K-relations, Example 4 which claims this semiring
cannot be extended to a semiring with monus: indeed, that paper gives
a wrong definition of the monus operator in the tropical semiring.
The tropical semiring is absorptive, as long as the order in the addition monoid corresponds to a canonical order (e.g., as in ℕ) -
Times distributes over monus on tropical semirings made of an order strictly compatible with addition, with an additional top element.
The tropical semiring is idempotent -
