The '''[[wp:United States|United States of America]]''' is a country located in [[North America]] composed of 50 states in the [[Grand Theft Auto World]] in which the main [[Grand Theft Auto]] games take place. Most of the locations in the games are based on cities and states found in the actual USA. For example, [[Liberty City]] is based on the city of [[wp:New York|New York]], [[Vice City]] is based on the city of [[wp:Miami|Miami]] and the [[wp:Florida Keys|Keys]] located in South Florida, and the [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|state of San Andreas]] is inspired by the actual states of [[wp:California|California]] and [[wp:Nevada|Nevada]], comprised of fictional cities based on real cities in those states.

The State of San Andreas, which contains 3 large cities and huge rural areas with small towns between, is located in the southwest, considering it has large deserts. The [[GTA III Era]]'s [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|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]] rendition of [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] is in [[Liberty City State]]. Note that the GTA III and GTA IV Era's do not follow the same canon. Vice City is located in the state of Florida down south, and this is directly said to be true by [[Salvatore Leone]] in [[The Introduction]] video for [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], and [[Tommy Vercetti]] refers to the residents of the city as "dumb Florida morons" early after his arrival. Various NPCs also confirm that Vice City is in Florida.

*1986 ([[Grand Theft Auto:Vice City|Vice City]]): [[Alex Shrub]], a fictional right-wing Florida congressman whose name and mannerisms are based on George H.W.

Said affair became a very public spectacle, even across the country in San Andreas where photos of Shrub and Suxxx are seen on Carl Johnson's wall.

==Trivia==
*In the [[GTA IV era]], the United States may only comprise of 49 states. [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]] is still mentioned as a state in a Liberty Tree article, which may mean that San Andreas is one state comprising of both California and Nevada, unless one of those states has a different name. Neither California nor Nevada are mentioned in GTA IV.
