Leonida

The State of Leonida is one of the fictional states in the United States of America. It is a southeast state and it will serve as the main setting of Grand Theft Auto: Renegade II.
== Description ==
The State of Leonida is a fictional state that is presumably located roughly west of Florida and south of Alabama. It has at least one known major city: Vice City.
== Geography/Influence ==
Leonida is sub-tropical in terms of geography and weather. Being a southeastern state, this is understandable as it shares correspondence with Florida. As stated, Leonida is based off of the real-life state of Florida, serving as a placeholder for the setting of Vice City instead of it previously being set in Florida.
* The Vice City Metropolitan Area is heavily based off of Miami-Dade County, Florida, with it being named the Vice-Dale County area.

=== 1984 ===
Around 1984, a soldier named Victor Vance and his brother, Lance started a small empire in Vice City, working with various criminals of the underworld until their businesses were concluded when two other guys threatened their lives. The brothers fled town and moved to Panama for the next two years.
=== 1986 ===
In 1986, Tommy Vercetti, a representative of the Forelli Crime Family from Liberty City, is sent to Vice City after spending fifteen years in prison to establish a drug trade with the Vance brothers: cash for Columbian cocaine. The deal went smoothly until a third-party intercepted the deal and killed Victor, and Tommy's henchmen Harry and Lee. Tommy, his driver Ken Rosenberg, and Lance escaped. From there, during his crusade to get both the money and the drugs back, Tommy eventually established connections in Vice and rose to the top of the ladder, owning his own empire. Sonny Forelli later tried to wrestle his control away and kill Tommy, with Lance becoming a traitor. Both men were murdered by Tommy in retribution and in the end, the surviving criminal became the top kingpin of Vice City.
=== 2022 ===
In 2022, after thirty-six years of ruling Vice City, Tommy Vercetti died from heart failure in his sleep in his Vice City mansion, finally putting the last of the Vercetti Crime Family to rest.
=== 2025 ===
In 2025, two criminals, Jason and Lucia establish their criminal reputation in Vice City, the latter of the two having been recently released from prison, embarking on a journey across Vice. Their intentions are yet to be revealed.
Joel Wallace, a kingpin from Los Santos, San Andreas, was contacted by an unknown dealer, who proposed a job for him that is in Vice City. The pay is good and he will have the chance to establish a ring stretching from the West Coast all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. Joel hesitantly agreed, initially refusing to leave state, but saw opportunity and took it. This would lead to a new story where Joel would travel to Vice City and embark on a new crusade.
