Portland is heavily based on the New York´s lower-class boroughs, particularly Brooklyn and Queens, as also in Lower Manhattan. In GTA III, a hidden area located behind the hills of Shoreside Vale is popularly known as the "Ghost Town", although the area can only be reached by flying a Dodo. Liberty City is divided into three boroughs, comprising 25 defined areas and neighborhoods, and the outskirts of the city.
Based on the official website, Liberty City's sister city is Beirut, which may be a joke from the producers, considering Beirut has often experienced violence in the past, twinning it with Liberty City seeing how crime-ridden Liberty City is. The city area has a population of 4,000,000 people by 2001. Liberty City is loosely based on New York City, but includes elements of other American cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, among others. Over the subsequent history of Liberty City is almost no word in the series like, unlike the history of New York that was founded in 1624, this interpretation is founded 174 years later. Liberty City was established in 1798, 22 years after the declaration of independence from United States, being "a church, a cow pasture and three houses when the telephone was invented (1870, first experiments started)," according to Lazlow of Chatterbox FM. The Liberty Tree says in its October 1998 issue of that Liberty will celebrate its 200th anniversary: This is but one of many achievements we should celebrate at this moment in Liberty City´s grand history. Very soon the Office of Public Works will complete the bridges that join Portland and Staunton Island with the mainland.
As we approach the new millenium there are surely great things in our future. To commemorate Liberty City´s 200th anniversary, we in The Liberty Tree´s cartography department have created a map of what our magnificent city looks like today.
