This week's featured article is Grand Theft Auto World which looks at all the locations used and mentioned in GTA games.

The Grand Theft Auto World is a fictional world consisting of fictional places such as, Liberty City, Vice City, Carcer City, San Andreas and other fictional areas.

With the exception of the state of San Andreas, never have more than one of these cities been on a single map, so there is not much solid information to confirm whether these all exist on the same fictional Earth or otherwise. However, in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the player can fly Eastwards (over sea) from Las Venturas to a portion of Liberty City. This is roughly in line with the journey from their real-life counterparts: Las Vegas to New York.

Also, there are many recurring characters and consistent peculiarities, repeating messages and direct references between many of the games - particularly those in the GTA III Era. Many characters such as Ken Rosenberg appear in several of the games, in a constant canonical storyline - so it is confirmed that all GTA III era games take place on the same fictional Earth, although at different times, which falls in line with the games themselves.
