State of GTA VI, including modern Vice City. The official material emphasizes sun, crime, state conspiracy and the dependence between Lucia and Jason.
The neon-soaked metropolis remains the capital of sun and fun — the glamour, hustle and greed of America captured in a single city. Fortunes are born and disappeared between the coast, the condominiums and the backstage of the night. It's about twice the size of Los Santos.
Life in this tropical archipelago is not fancy, but it is easy. Grab your drink and stretch out your beach chair — just be aware: you're on the doorstep of some of the most beautiful and dangerous waters in all of America. This is where Jason and Lucia live, on a property owned by Brian Heder.

A national landmark on Leonida's northern border, Mount Kalaga offers world-class hunting, fishing and off-road trails. In the surrounding dense forests, hillbilly mystics and paranoid radicals live far from the eyes of the government.
