	Weighing against [[Liberty City in GTA III Era\|its later counterpart]], the city's geography and alignment of districts in the game are much more reminiscent of New York City, featuring two major mainlands with a Manhattan-like central island (which contains a large park at the center, a reference to Central Park), and several smaller islands along a river of the city, with the mainlands and islands connected primarily by road bridges. Neighboring New Jersey and surrounding boroughs in New York City are also spoofed, the former described as being in [[New Guernsey\|a separate state]] of its own (similar to [[Alderney]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]).

The districts are evidently based on real life areas in New York City and New Jersey, while their names are wordplays of those from their real life counterparts.

ZS: Doesn't look too good with this image. It'll be ideal to put it in a gallery though, but we're short on images to do that.

	Like New York City, Liberty City is designed as heavily urbanized city with vast numbers of buildings and only a minimal number of parks and greenery. A looping train line, running along elevated and underground lines, also services locations all across the city.

Liberty City has acquired a terrible reputation for violent, organized crime over the years. Yet, as the mayor's office spokesman says, "Liberty City used to be a very violent place, but since we took office, it now has the 47th lowest murder rate of any cite on the eastern sea board".

	Although districts within the western landmass are stated earlier to be located within the "state" of [[New Guernsey]], they form part of Liberty City's metropolitan area (similar to the [[wp:New York metropolitan area\|New York metropolitan area]]) and do not feature ~~any~~ aesthetic distinctions from the rest of the city. Technically, both the New Guernsey landmass and the rest of Liberty City are treated in-game as a single entity, similar to the wholes of [[City of San Andreas\|San Andreas]] and [[Vice City in GTA 1\|Vice City]].
