Liberty City is loosely based in [[wp:New York City|New York City]], but includes elements of other American cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, among others. The city area has a population of 4,000,000 people by 2001. Based on the official website, Liberty City's sister city is [[wp:Beirut|Beirut]], which may be a joke from the producers, considering Beirut is often bombed and is frequently chaotic, twinning it with Liberty City seeing how crime-ridden Liberty City is.

Liberty City is located on the [[wp:East Coast of the United States|East Coast]] of the [[United States]] in [[State of Liberty]], north of [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]], east of the [[State of San Andreas]] and also located close to [[Carcer City]] the setting of [[Manhunt]], another [[Rockstar Games]] title, with links to "[[Upstate]]" being found in a road tunnel connecting [[Cedar Grove]] and [[Cochrane Dam]] in GTA Liberty City Stories.  
Liberty City is located on the [[wp:East Coast of the United States|East Coast]] of the [[United States]] in the [[State of Liberty]]. It is north of [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]], east of the [[State of San Andreas]], and close to [[Carcer City]], with links to "[[Upstate]]" through a road tunnel connecting [[Cedar Grove]] and [[Cochrane Dam]] as seen in GTA Liberty City Stories.


The city is relatively flat, with hills only appearing in [[Portland]] (with [[Saint Marks]]) and in [[Shoreside Vale]] (with [[Pike Creek]] and [[Cedar Grove]]). In GTA Advance, however, the city has no hills, although this is due to the limited capacity of the [[Game Boy Advance]]. In the city the sea level is very high, especially in Portland areas of Harwood, Atlantic Quays and Portland Harbor, while Staunton Island on the east side of Belleville Park, in Bedford Point and part of Torrington.
The city is relatively flat, with major hills only appearing in Portland ([[Saint Marks]]) and Shoreside Vale ([[Pike Creek]] and [[Cedar Grove]]). In GTA Advance, however, the city is depicted to have no hills, although this is due to the limited resources of the [[Game Boy Advance]]. Portland and Staunton Island is completely surrounded by ocean water. In Shoreside Vale a major river flows through the center of the borough down from the Cochrane Dam to Witchita Gardens.
 
In Shoreside Vale flows a river (probably the only one of the city) that comes through almost the entire island, starting from Cochrane Dam to Wichita Gardens

In [[1998]] (GTA LCS) Liberty City seems a more cheerful autumn but probably not nearly cold with rain and cloudy days, whereas in [[2001]] (GTA III) the cold weather also seems an autumn rains, as it can be seen both in the ambience like a thermometer in [[Bedford Point]], which indicates the city's climate is almost always very low. Liberty City has been the only city in the saga where the snow has been submitted.
