Countries That Have Been Referenced in GTA

[killdrivetheftvehicle]

GTA world includes the whole world, but some countries are better represented. What are the countries that have been referenced in GTA? Please mention the game and the mission or trailer where it was said or otherwise can be seen. You don't have to come up with each and every reference to a particular country in a single post, and more evidence may be added in the following posts. Just make sure that you read the other posts before posting, so that you don't repeat what has already been said.

 

I begin:

 

USA

 

(gta takes place in USA). Majority of people speak with the american accent in the majority of missions, The Flag of USA is prominently displayed in each game.

Portugal, in GTA IV. If you visit Leftwood, Alderney, you will notice a lot of stores with names spelt mainly in Portuguese, as well as a few Portuguese flags hanging from certain buildings' windows.

 

I felt pretty honored and amazed about the fact that such a small country like Portugal could get such a right to be mentioned in such an amazing GTA title!

• Serbia - GTA IV
• Canada - GTA V (Trevor)
• USA - Most of the GTAs are set here.
• England - GTA London

It's not okay to just say a country and a gta game. You have to be more specific. And last time I checked Tokyo was the capital of Japan, and not a country. And you must have meant that the other gangs are not from a specific country, because it otherwise doesn't make any sense.
