Rockstar Says
Keeping Leonida Sweet. The battle for the health and wealth of Leonida begins here. In the heart of Leonida, American industry and old school values still reign supreme, whatever the cost. The Allied Crystal sugar refinery provides the jobs, while the local biker gang provides almost everything else.

Overview
Ambrosia County is the rural backbone of the state. Rockstar's own copy frames the county as a battle for the health and wealth of Leonida, with the Allied Crystal sugar refinery as its economic engine and a local biker gang as its shadow economy. The town of Ambrosia is the central settlement, surrounded by cane fields, processing plants, trailer parks, and church parking lots. Lake Leonida occupies the geographic middle of the county and the state, a vast freshwater body inspired by Lake Okeechobee that feeds the wetlands further south. Players should expect a slower pace here, with country bars, gas stations, and dirt tracks leading away from town.
Real-World Inspiration
Ambrosia County is drawn from Hendry County, Florida. Rockstar has historically built its game worlds as semi-faithful caricatures of real places, picking out the strongest visual and cultural cues and reshaping them into a satirical version of America. Expect recognisable streets, signage references, and visual gags throughout.
