The time and resources spent in setting up a whole new LEO faction would be better put into the existing two departments. And surely there are divisions within the PD and SD that deal with most of the tasks that have been listed in your original post?

theres no need to portray it as an island whatsoever. as the GTA V wiki says:

 

The GTA V map is a small portion of the State of San Andreas, It's in the fact the southern-most tip. There are multiple other cities in the state of San Andreas and to assume that the entire state is the playable map is stupid. Management needs to make an official ruling, but I personally and most other people I've talked will not be role-playing the existance of California, or that San Anne is an island.
 

The point I was making was to try and meet somewhere in the middle of the two opposing arguments. 

 

Yes it would be dumb to have San Andreas be separate from California, I wholeheartedly agree. But are we supposed to roleplay when you're stood at the edge of the map that there is land there instead of water? 

 

Regardless of which people choose to roleplay, it wouldn't actually make any difference to the actual roleplay produced.

How about a compromise and say that San Andreas replaces California but that San Andreas takes the land that California as a state occupies, and Los Santos aka Los Angeles is situated on an island off the coast of California?

 

I understand the previous point that it would not make sense to have the US' second largest city on a separate island, but that is trivial as obviously Los Santos in this universe is not the size of Los Angeles in any way. Having it like this would mean we don't just ignore that we are obviously roleplaying on an island and any characters "visiting" San Fierro or Las Venturas would hop on an imaginary flight or boat to the mainland.  

 

See the image in the spoiler below to see a rough idea of how this would operate. Obviously, the image is comparing the sizes of LS and LA, but for roleplay purposes imagine that LA was not there, or possibly even roleplay that Las Venturas and San Fierro as they exist in GTA SA occupied that space. Like this, it would only be a short flight to get from Los Santos international to the mainland. 

 

Spoiler

 

I'm not too bothered by either prospect in all honesty as it makes little difference to the actual roleplay, but a line in the sand should be drawn so everyone knows where they stand.

It has been confirmed. San Andreas is going to be acted as a island and we don't connect to the mainland.

Definitely agree that this is the right thing to do. However, the natural next question would be where in relation to Los Santos the cities of San Fierro and Las Venturas would be. Do we act as if they're where their real life counter parts would be on the mainland United States?
