The United States of America is a country located in North America composed of 50 states in the Grand Theft Auto World in which most of the Grand Theft Auto games take place. Most of the cities in the games are based on cities and states located in the actual USA. For example, Liberty City is based on the state and city of New York, Vice City is based on the city of Miami and the Keys located in South Florida, and the State of San Andreas is inspired by the actual states of California and Nevada.
In New England is where the game Bully takes place, its strongly hinted that the game exists in the same fictional universe as the GTA series.
The State of San Andreas, which contains 3 large cities and huge rural areas with small towns between, is located in southwest, considering it has large deserts. The GTA III Era's Liberty City is located somewhere in the north, since it snowed in the mission Saint Mark's Bistro in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, while the Grand Theft Auto IV, Liberty City is in Liberty City State. Vice City is obviously located in the state of Florida down south, and is directly said so by Salvatore Leone in The Introduction video for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and by various NPC's in the game.
In all the games, the cities are always located on several islands connected by bridges, probably as a way of limiting the player from moving off the map, a fact noticed by players. Also, there are many islands, and every game starts with certain bridges blocked, restricting the player from exploring the entire city at the start of the game.
Even though the Grand Theft Auto video games are made in the United Kingdom, they are released first in the United States of America, and subsequently Canada. The games are primarily based on American popular culture, and nearly all have been set in fictitious (or copied) locations on the American mainland. The music, the clothes, the slang, and the abundance of vehicles in the game are considerably of American origin.
