Leonida is not just Vice City. It's an entire state encompassing diverse biomes, from the neon-soaked streets of the central metropolis to the murky depths of the Grasslands (Everglades). Mapping enthusiasts have been piecing together the 2022 leaks and official footage to create a comprehensive view of the world.

The Heart: Vice City (VP)

The city itself is roughly 2.5 times the size of Los Santos. Major neighborhoods include:

  • Vice Beach: The iconic strip of hotels and high-end boutiques.
  • Port Gelhorn: An industrial hub and the gateway to the western islands.
  • Ambrosia: A luxury residential area for the ultra-wealthy.
  • Kelly County: A rural contrast to the city's flashiness.

"The level of interior accessibility is unprecedented. Over 70% of the buildings in Vice City can be entered, ranging from strip malls to high-rise apartments."

Beyond the City: The Keys and Grasslands

The Southern Keys represent a tropical playground, perfect for high-speed boat chases and smuggling missions. Meanwhile, the Grasslands offer a dangerous wilderness where wildlife—including highly aggressive alligators—pose as much of a threat as the local gangs. The ecosystem is alive; weather patterns like hurricanes and tropical storms will dynamically affect the map, flooding certain areas and forcing players to adapt.

Travel and Infrastructure

The highway system is designed for high-performance vehicles. Long, sweeping bridges connect the islands, and a functional light rail system provides a way to traverse the city without a car. For the first time, air travel feels essential, as the scale of Leonida makes cross-state travel a significant journey.

Leonida is more than just a background; it's a living character that breathes life into the Lucia and Jason saga.
