Is it just me or do you want to see the Grand Theft Auto series get out of Liberty City, Vice City, and San Andreas and go somewhere different?  I mean, Liberty City is great and all, but we've seen everything Liberty City has to offer multiple times.  See, I was under the impression that we'd get at least one GTA game not set in Liberty City or in the present time.  Maybe it's just me, but the people at Rockstar can parody any part of the world and mold the GTA experience around it.  I really want to see the series go somewhere completely different in the near future... or maybe London once again.

Here's my gigantic list of 40 potential future GTA locations... in bullet form, alphabetical order, and Twitterized for my convenience.

• Amsterdam: Legal prostitution and "hot coffee" shops.  Need I say more?
• Athens: The Parthenon and the Olympics.  Better yet, old-school nude Olympic Games with additional virtual wang.
  

• 

  Atlanta: Coca-Cola, a huge airport, the 1996 Olympics, and southern hospitality.  More Ludacris, less Soulja Boy.
• Baltimore: There's a... harbor and it's close to other major cities.  Wouldn't work so well as a stand-alone, but would work in a multiple city setting.
• Baghdad: If they can do Six Days in Fallujah, they can do GTA: Baghdad.
  
• Bangkok: Just one big pimping mission after another.  Just stay away from the kids.
  
• Beijing: Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City.  Stand in front of a tank and see what happens.
  
• Berlin: They had a massive wall.  Berlin circa 1988 would be pretty neat.
• Bogota: Was once trademarked by Rockstar, but it never happened.  Should star a Juan Valdez type.
  
• Boston: A little colonial history, some Boston accents, and some BIg Dig driving make for a great GTA.
• Cairo: If you think GTA: Cairo is a dumb idea, you're in de"Nile."  Throw in some pyramids and a sphinx and I'm sold.
  
• Caracas: Making fun of dictatorships should be more common in games.  Hugo, you so crazy.
  
• Chicago: Synonymous with political corruption, mob rule, and skyscrapers perfect for jumpers.  Yes we can?
  

• 

  Detroit: Crime and cars... sounds like Grand Theft Auto to me.  Real life Detroit is like GTA in so many ways.
  
• Dublin: One big Irish joke... like the McReary family, but throughout the whole game.
• Havana: See Caracas.
  
• Hong Kong: Everything is so tall and vertical... a skyscraper jungle.  Like Liberty City with more junks.
• Honolulu: Similar to Vice City, but with more volcanoes and hula dancers.
• Istanbul: It's not Constantinople, it's Istanbul.
• Jerusalem: Should we even go here?  The whole Israel/Palestinian conflict is too volatile to touch, even for GTA.  Fuck it, make it happen.
  
• Madrid: Being the largest and most important city in Spain has its advantages.  No offense to Barcelona or Bilbao.
  
• Mexico City: Center of Mexican culture, kind of a given.  Play as Cesar Vialpando, perhaps?
  
• Monaco: Beaches and casinos without that dirty Atlantic City smell and sense of shame and hate.
• Moscow: In Soviet Russia, cars steal you.  Niko Bellic cameo appearance and KGB a given.
  
• Mumbai: Or Bombay if you're old-school.  Being India's largest city and the home of Bollywood helps... there's a lot of people in India if you didn't know.
  
• New Orleans: Set it just after Hurricane Katrina and during Mardi Gras and watch Jack Thompson scream his balls off.

• 

  Paris: French stereotypes on steroids.  Love to climb the Eiffel Tower with my sniper rifle and... eh, you know.
  
• Philadelphia: Independence Hall, Liberty Bell, and cheesesteaks.  Throw in a Rocky reference for shits and giggles.
  
• Pittsburgh: Like The Pitt in Fallout 3, but a tad less dilapidated.
• Rio de Janeiro: Beautiful beaches, varied landscape, and a girl from Ipanema.  Oh, and Carnival.
• Rome: Lots of architectural attractions and Italian stereotypes.  Catholic jokes courtesy of a fictional Vatican City.
  
• San Diego: Like Los Santos with fewer ghettos and nicer weather.  Kinda boring now that I think about it... throw in Tijuana for flavor.
  
• Seattle: More hot coffee shops and a Space Needle penis joke built in.
• Seoul: Much better choice than Pyongyang by far.
• Shanghai: Like Chinatown Wars in China.
• Singapore: Hong Kong light.

• 

  Sydney: IGN's April Fools joke can actually be an awesome game.  Paul Hogan type as the main character.
  
• Tokyo: Fans want it, Rockstar trademarked it.  A Western take on Japanese culture means Godzilla will be in it.
  
• Toronto: Unorthodox pick due to clean and polite reputation, but whatever.  If you squint hard enough, the CN Tower and SkyDome sort of look like cock and balls.
  
• Washington: The capital of America and the murder capital of the world.  Government hijinxs and Washington Monument dick joke automatic.

I'm thinking Hazzard County.
