About this section
Leonida is Rockstar's Florida, and it is unusually easy to read against the real state because the studio has barely disguised the source material. Vice City is Miami, the Keys are the Keys, Grassrivers is the Everglades, Ambrosia is the sugar country south of Lake Okeechobee, and Port Gellhorn is the faded roadside tourism of the panhandle coast.
One region has no real counterpart. Florida's highest natural point is around 345 feet, so Mount Kalaga National Park is an invention, and a lot of writing about it assumes a real place that does not exist.
These pages cover what has been shown, what the real-world equivalent actually is, and what that suggests about how each region will play. Where we are reasoning rather than reporting, the page says so.
