All the locations in the [[GTA III Era]] games exist in the same [[wp:fictional universe|fictional universe]], since characters crossed between them, and there are no contradictions. Liberty City from [[Grand Theft Auto III]] is replicated almost identically in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]], but set at a different time to GTA III to account for the differences. Likewise with [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]. [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] also overlaps with Liberty City, as outlined below.

There is no information regarding their placement with regards to each other, except with the three cities in the state of [[San Andreas]]: [[Los Santos]], [[San Fierro]] and [[Las Venturas]], and their surrounding countryside. However, [[Saint Mark's Bistro|one mission]] in GTA San Andreas, the player could fly a plane eastwards overseas and arrive (by cutscene) in Liberty City. This relationship is similar to the real-world geographical placing of the states of [[:wp:California|California]] and [[:wp:Nevada|Nevada]] (which San Andreas is based on) to [[:wp:New York City|New York]] (which Liberty City is based on).
A map selection screen in the first [[Grand Theft Auto]] game reveals that the contemporary renditions of Liberty City, San Andreas, and Vice City are located in or near New York, California, and Florida respectively. It is unclear whether these locations are canon with the rest of the series, however it is known that Vice City is located in Florida. Furthermore, during [[Saint Mark's Bistro|one mission]] in GTA San Andreas, the player could fly a plane eastwards overseas and arrive (by cutscene) in Liberty City. This relationship is similar to the real-world geographical placing of the states of [[:wp:California|California]] and [[:wp:Nevada|Nevada]] (which San Andreas is based on) to [[:wp:New York City|New York]] (which Liberty City is based on).


However, outside of the GTA III era, the recurring locations are represented very differently. Liberty City appeared in [[Grand Theft Auto 1]] and GTA III with almost no similarities other than the city they were both based on - New York. GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Advance replicated the city again, but with the same style as GTA III. [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] is also based in Liberty City, and again has been created from scratch again.
